Analytical and diligent professional with 9 years hands-on laboratory experience. During my PhD work, I developed in-depth knowledge of polymer chemistry, which I applied to the development of improved fuel cell proton-exchange membranes. During my time in the Weitz lab, I applied droplet microfluidic technology to studies related to drug encapsulation and controlled release, cell differentiation, and stem cell therapy. These studies have resulted in numerous peer-reviewed publications. I also am comfortable with modern analytical techniques for compound purification and characterization. US permanent resident.
