Work History

Postdoctoral Researcher

Dr. Timothy Long
11.2023 - Current
  • Synthesis of novel spiropyran containing polymers for selective and photo-reversible cation capture in water.
  • Synthesis and implementation of acetal linkages to facilitate the selective depolymerization of spiropyran polymers, addressing end-of-life considerations.
  • Surface functionalization of polyurethane foams for oil spill remediation

Postdoctoral Researcher

Dr. Kyle Biegasiewicz
10.2022 - 10.2023

• Managed the chemical ordering for the lab and as the lab's first Post-Doc, guided and mentored the graduate and undergraduates

• Worked on interfacing enzymes with organic chemistry to access a wide range of small molecules to address limitations associated with traditional chemical synthesis.

• Employed vanadium haloperoxidases to catalyze decarboxylative halogenation and decarboxylative bromooxidation of indoles, and oxidative dimerization of thioamides to access 1,2,4 thiadiazoles
