Hi there!

I earned my PhD in Materials Chemistry from Cornell, where I worked jointly between the Chemistry and Materials Science Departments. I have worked at 2 Bay Area startups over the past 10 years, one of which was acquired by a much larger organization and subsequently launched its products. 

I wear many hats, as needed, and have experience in polymer chemistry, surface chemistry, solid state chemistry, materials engineering, microfluidics, intellectual property, project management, separations, analytical hardware, R&D management, DoE/data analysis, tech transfer to manufacturing, lab management, and prototyping. 

While I call myself a chemist, I'm extremely hands-on and also useful with a set of tools! I'm always looking for new and exciting opportunities to contribute my existing skills, as well as learning and applying new ones.
