Startup turning CO2 into higher value chemicals using electrochemistry, automation, and ML-optimized workflows.

Role: Head Materials Engineer

Investigated the potential scalability of an electrocatalytic process converting CO2 into butanol, a fuel.

Role: Undergraduate Researcher

Collaborators: Professor Andrew Bocarsly, Princeton University

Targeted CO2 vibrational modes as light-matter strong coupling candidates. Used standing IR waves in an optical cavity to affect UV-induced photoreduction.

Role: Undergraduate Researcher

Collaborators: Professor Marissa Weichman, Princeton University

Fabricated silver mirrors and thin films of semiconductor polymers to strong-couple light and matter and affect photovoltaic properties.

Role: Undergraduate Researcher

Collaborators: Professor Gregory Scholes

Synthesized and tested various fluorescent molecule candidates to be probes for reactive oxygen species (ROS) detection.

Role: Visiting Researcher

Collaborators: Professor Robert Edkins, University of Stratclyde (Glasgow, UK)

Investigated the candidacy of various FeCo alloys as potential CO2 electrocatalysts.

Role: Undergraduate Researcher

Collaborators: Professor Andrew Bocarsly, Princeton University

Used Gaussian to simulate dynamics and properties of potential CO2 photoreducing species.

Role: Undergraduate Researcher

Light- and heat-reactive photograph depicting a porcelain amulet from Galicia, Spain. Employs a technique I developed, allowing for fluorescent and thermochromic prints.

Role: Artist & Process Inventor

Collaborators: Anne Eder

Artwork utilizing white back-light, linear polarizers, and transparent materials to reveal color. It represents my Galician identity by depicting overlapped Spanish and Celtic symbols.

Role: Artist

Polarized glasses with individually rotatable lenses. They allow new ways of seeing reflective surfaces and otherwise invisible artworks.
