Columbus
12.2024 - Current
- Conductive air sensitive chemistry using a glovebox and schlenk line
- Performed pulsed EPR spectroscopy to investigate spin coherence and relaxation dynamics in transition metal complexes.
Analytical Chemist
ATL, A Bureau Veritas Company
Cincinnati
02.2024 - 07.2024
- Followed analytical methods that produced liquid and/or air samples that were run using GC/MS.
- Preliminary analysis of this data was then done using Microsoft Excel and MassHunter software.
- Perfume standards were produced by following a strict procedure in order to calibrate GC/MS systems.
Undergraduate Researcher
Xavier University
Cincinnati
01.2023 - 12.2023
- Investigated the pH dependence of vanadate ester formation constants (K) using 51-V NMR spectroscopy, revealing that complex stability was independent of pH.
- Explored trans-effect trends in Pt(II) complexes through computational modeling (Spartan) and statistical analysis (R Studio) to evaluate thermodynamic and kinetic parameters.
- Performed comprehensive data analysis on large experimental and computational datasets to validate the absence of significant trends in trans-effect behavior.
