RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

Jan 2010 - Dec 2012 Ph.D. research, The Pennsylvania State University,

University Park, PA

. Measured and analyzed diffusion in ionic liquid solutions at high

viscosities, using inversion recovery of quadrupolar nuclei and Pulsed

Field Gradient NMR

. Data mining & analysis to investigate the agreement of ionic liquid (and

conventional solvent) diffusion data with predictions of various

hydrodynamic models, so as to characterize hydrodynamic behavior

Aug 2005 - Dec 2009 M.S. research, The Pennsylvania State University,

University Park, PA

. Investigated mechanisms of electron transport in a photocatalytic water-

splitting cell, using electrochemical kinetics methods with many types of

homemade ultramicroelectrodes (UME)

. Synthesized (and characterized) nanoparticulate metals and metal oxides

using solid-state, sol-gel, photo-deposition, and electro-deposition

methods

. Supervised an undergraduate researcher, Fall 2007 - Spring 2008

OTHER TECHNIQUES

. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)

. Transmission Electrode Microscopy (TEM)

. Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS)

. Advanced 2D NMR and multinuclear techniques
