years of professional experience
A graduate student in her third year. Current research focuses on quantifying sources of magnetic noise and their impact on coherence. Her goals upon completion of schooling would be to become a professor at a primary undergraduate institution.
Work History
Ph.D. Candidate
1 Year 9 Months- Talks: "Synthetically engineering vanadium (IV) complexes for magnetic noise control" at the fall American Chemistry Society (ACS) regional conference (2026)
- Best Ph.D Candidate Poster Award at Regional American Vacuum Society (AVS) Conference (2026)
- Posters: "Synthetically engineering vanadium (IV) complexes for magnetic noise control" at AVS Conference (2026); "Counterions effects on coherence in vanadium(IV)-based molecular qubits" poster presented at the AVS (2025), Quantum Matters in Ohio (2025), and Ohio Inorganic Weekend (2025)
- Fellowships Awarded: GuGIP (2025)
Analytical Chemist
5 Months- 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
11 Months- 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.
