Work
Boston-based chemist.
I've synthesized quantum dots, measured laser transmittance through human skulls, and made implantable medical devices from bio-inert polymers. Now I'm using analytical chemistry and spectroscopy to fight food fraud and misrepresentation.
I believe clear communication is essential to both scientific and personal success. I have consistently worked in small, quick-moving teams where technical and non-technical communication is vital.
I'm a self-driven person who works well both individually and collaboratively. The most difficult problems are the ones that need solving...
let's work on them together.
