Principal Investigator
I am an assistant professor who joined the Department of Chemistry at UVM in Fall 2020 and am also a faculty member in the Neuroscience Graduate Program, the Cellular, Molecular, and Biomedical Sciences program, and the Vermont Center for Cardiovascular and Brain Health Pipeline Investigator Program. I completed my Ph.D. in analytical chemistry with Prof. Stephen Weber at the University of Pittsburgh and then did a postdoc with Prof. Parastoo Hashemi, who runs two concurrent labs at both the University of South Carolina and Imperial College London. As a result of my professional training, my background and interests span a broad range of analytical techniques, from separation science to electrochemical sensing. I will leverage these expertise to develop new sensing technologies for environmental and neuroscience applications and for creating clinical diagnostic tools. In my spare time, I like to travel, explore new restaurants, and do Pure Barre. Even though I grew up in Florida and am used to beaches, I cannot wait to take to the hills and explore the beauty that is Vermont!
