I am a post-doctoral research associate working with Professor John M. Torkelson at Northwestern University.  My current research interests are novel polymer blends and nanocomposites processed via an innovative process called solid-state shear pulverization.

I completed my Ph.D. degree in Chemical and Materials Engineering at Princeton University in January 2006, under the guidance of Professor Richard A. Register.   My Ph.D. thesis topic was structure-property relationships in semicrystalline copolymers and ionomers.

I attended University of Pennsylvania for my undergraduate education, where I double-majored in Chemical (and Biomolecular) Engineering and Materials Science & Engineering.  I was co-advised by Professors Warren D. Seider and Russel J. Composto.
