As a researcher working with the Navrotsky Group, I work in developing new colorimetric experimental techniques and the measuring of enthalpy heat effects of noble materials using these. After acquiring a bachelor's in general chemistry from UHD and working as an industrial chemist at TOTAL energies for two years. The next logical step for me was to continue my education and attain a Ph.D. degree in Materials Science and Engineering from Arizona State University. Through these experiences, I have become a professionally-oriented academic who has demonstrated a history of diverse research projects and interests. I have developed strong skills in communication (written/spoken), project leadership, synergistic team collaborations, lab safety, and a plethora of chemical characterization techniques.
Current research interest: The determination of the thermodynamic properties of alloys, ceramics, and composites employing new high-temperature calorimetric techniques. The comparability and optimization of calculated quantum models based on these experimental results.
