My research investigated intersection between electric fields and Brønsted acid catalysis. My passion for catalysis emerged during my undergraduate studies, where I had the opportunity to conduct research in this dynamic field. At the University of New Hampshire, alongside Dr. Nan Yi, I experimented with the Sabatier reaction. I synthesized, characterized, and activity tested nickel based and copper based catalysts for thermocatalytic and photocatalytic processes. Additionally, during the summer of 2022, I worked with Dr. John Monnier to examine bimetallic catalyst synthesis. At the University of South Carolina, I modified copper and nickel based catalysts with silver through galvanic displacement. In my free time, I like to play ultimate frisbee and binge movies.
