Experience: I have extensive experience in climate science. Previously, I used spectroscopy and gas chromatography to study the hydroxyl radical and the formation of cirrus clouds, which significantly affect climate predictions. Currently, I am developing photo-thermal methods for carbon capture. Most of my work has required an understanding of transport phenomena in engineering and the atmosphere--and, of course, some chemistry.

Credentials: Fellow, Research Experience in Carbon Sequestration (RECS), US Department of Energy 2021-2022, McCormick Research Fellowship, University of Chicago—2019, David W. and Eloise C. Young Chemistry Scholarship, University of Kentucky—2018

Key Biotechnology: DeepMind's AlphaFold is pretty insane. It has much potential to elucidate fundamental questions about what proteins do and how they work.

Differentiators: I've jumped around science fields quite a bit. Before settling on climate science and engineering, I worked in multiple labs focusing on protein library design and modeling macromolecules, such as the HIV capsid protein, using molecular dynamics simulations.
