In my research, I am investigating how entangled polymeric liquids behave under flow.

I was born and raised in the great state of NC. I received my undergraduate degree in chemical engineering from North Carolina State University in 2015 (Go Pack!). During college, I played alto saxophone in the marching and pep bands, worked various positions within University Housing, and conducted undergrad research in the areas of nanofibers and polymer hydrogels. 

Outside of the lab, I enjoy hiking, cooking, attending live music performances, and exploring Santa Barbara.

Tools and Techniques: Rheology, particle tracking, microscopy, light scattering, and magnetic resonance imaging
