EDUCATION Doctor of Philosophy, Chemistry University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY December 2016 Advisor: Christopher I. Richards, Ph.D. Dissertation topic: Characterization and Application of Hybrid Nanostructures for Enhanced Biological Imaging using Fluorescence Microscopy Techniques Bachelor of Science, Chemistry Lindenwood University, St. Charles, MO May 2012 Advisor: Ricardo Delgado, Ph.D. Undergraduate research: Blind Studies of Organic Fuels for Application in Forensic Arson Using GC/MS Compass Minerals, Overland Park, KS 2017-Present Develop and implement methods for macro and micronutrients in fertilizers using instruments such ICP-MS, FTIR, UV-VIS, IC, and CHNOS Elemental Analysis Develop new macro and micro nutrient blends in fertilizers Developing additives for salts to reduce caking, and spalling Regular maintenance, training, and repairs for laboratory instrumentation Provide technical support 2014-2016 Fabricated plasmonic devices and performed single molecule photophysical studies to determine the effect of metal structures on single molecule fluorescence Worked regularly in the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences (CNMS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (3+ years) to fabricate novel nanostructures for fluorescence imaging such as zero-mode waveguides, gold nanobowties, and nanoporous silicon nitride membranes Wrote several successful user proposals for group access to CNMS facilities and supplies Summer research fellowship in the Vosch lab at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Performed simultaneous single molecule fluorescence intensities, lifetimes, spectra, blinking dynamics, and photon antibunching statistics Developed an integrated microfluidic and nanopore imaging device to monitor single ligand-receptor interactions on the plasma membrane of live cells Built several custom microscopy setups for applications including confocal, TIRF, FLIM, FCS, smFRET and alternating laser excitation (ALEX) - Used these techniques to study DNA and protein systems inside of hybrid zero-mode waveguides Built a custom microscope with the capability to perform high throughput TIRF (prism- based) and FCS measurements Coordinated and designed application specific confocal/widefield microscopy set ups based collaborator needs, and led training/certification sessions for new users Research Assistantship University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE Sr. Researcher
