Hi! I'm a research & applications scientist for the CCDC. I received my Materials Chemistry Ph.D. in 2019 from Florida State University after studying electronic and magnetic properties of molecular materials under Prof. Michael Shatruk and Prof. Naresh Dalal. I'm interested in applying data science solutions to chemistry problems.
