His research interests include synthetic methodology, supramolecular chemistry, and organometallic chemistry. Ultimately his goal after graduate school is to teach and do further research at the university level and to be a mentor to young minds.
He is known in the group and to most of his students as a “fountain of absolutely useless information”.
In April 2022 he defended his dissertation entitled “Wading through the spectrum of wetness: Tailored solvation of weakly hydrated pockets”, and graduated with a PhD in May 2022. As of Fall 2022 he is a post-doctoral fellow in the Urbach Group at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas.
