Work History
Ph.D. Graduate Student Researcher
Iowa State University
09.2019 - Current
- Maintained a detailed knowledge of the current advances in organic chemistry, particularly Pd/Ni-catalyzed reactions.
- Analyzed the feasibility of unknown reactions, and designed synthetic routes of the target molecules.
- Ran laboratory-scale synthesis of organic compounds and precursors, usually involving transitional-metal catalyzed reactions requiring Schlenk line and glovebox techniques.
- Performed analysis of compounds to determine properties and purity using NMR, GC-MS, LC-MS, and IR.
- Write academic papers and supporting information.
- Communicated the knowledge with PI, colleagues, collaborators, and peers via slide presentation or poster. Participated in a cross-national collaboration and joined two ACS conferences.
- Attended academic conferences and shared the work in slides or poster presentations.
- As one of the first students in the research group, helped set up and regulate the lab.
- Worked as a teaching assistant for undergraduate organic chemistry lab courses for 29 months.
