  Ph.D. Physical Chemistry

  * Authored a cover article that identified the amyloid formation pathway of β-lactoglobulin. Classified the intermediate aggregate species by conformation and size with the GRIP analysis of DLS and TRF spectroscopy. * Published GRIP (Globally Regularized Interior Point gradient method), a “model-free” global fitting algorithm for fluorescence and DLS data. Uncovers population distributions not apparent by traditional fitting. * Conceptualized and co-authored a new single… Show more * Authored a cover article that identified the amyloid formation pathway of β-lactoglobulin.

  B.S. Chemistry (Minor: Physics)

  Activities and Societies: Phi Kappa Psi * Wrote Visual Basic code that automated HyperChem to perform and organize a large set of systematic torsion angle changes and single-point energy calculations of a cisplatin analog bound to guanosine 5'-monophosphate. * Compared modeling results to in-house 195Pt NMR measurements to further understand the structural effects of the minor groove binding of cisplatin analogs as a way to help predict new efficacious chemotherapeutic drugs.
