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
