Research Interests:

 

• I am fascinated by the way nature has ingenious and efficient solutions to both energy

and material demands. Currently I am looking at incorporating the photosynthetic protein

Photosystem I into biohybrid photovoltaics for use in energy production or sensors.

I hope to further understand nature’s engineering to replicate in solving our own energy

and material needs.

 

Hobbies and other interests:

gymnastics, hiking, rock climbing
