    • Connecticut college

      Sept 2017 - May 2019

      My research included the synthesis of manganese oxide nanoparticles with high porosity and surface area, which often take form in a sphere “yolk-shell” hollow structure and applied them as catalysts in hazardous waste remediation. I completed an individual project looking into the filter capabilities of MnOx by observing its absorption of various dyes such as methylene blue as a model compound for organic pollutants. I worked towards the goal of being able to individually run my own project with minimal supervision. I presented a poster of my cumulative research at the ACS Symposium at Amherst College Spring 2019. Show less

      Organic chemistry individual tutor

      I worked one-on-one with students to help them better understand difficult concepts through problem sets and self designed problems to enhance their conceptual understanding of chemistry. I tutored small groups of students to foster effective workload management and cooperation amongst students. I communicated with professors to better understand and develop teaching strategies for individual students and worked alongside Academic Resource Center faculty to develop tactics for improving collaborative skills among tutored students.
