Research interests
My interest lies in advancing high-performance materials and photonics, designing and developing them at the molecular level, to solve complex challenges in the aerospace engineering field.
Areas of Expertise: Extensive laboratory work, including instrumentation (FTIR, LC-MS/MS, GC, and Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy). I also have experience in both heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, computational chemistry, microbiological testing, and cell culture.
I currently work as a Research Associate and Lab Manager at the Falke Single Molecule Biophysics Lab within the Department of Biochemistry.
Awards
Honorable Mention for undergraduate thesis defense, "Hydroformylation of Methyl Oleate Catalyzed by Rh/diphosphine Systems," University of Zulia, 2018.
