Research Experience
2010 – University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Graduate Research with Professor Wei You
 Designed and fabricated molecular and organic electronic devices in a
clean-room environment, using photolithographic, wet-etching, and
physical vapor deposition techniques.
 Characterized devices both electrically and morphologically.
 Evaluated device performance, and worked to solve issues in non-performing
devices.
 Coordinated efforts with research group members and UNC administration
to refine supply purchasing protocols.
2009 North Carolina State University
Summer Undergraduate Research with Professor Elon Ison
 Synthesized catalysts used in the aerobic oxidation of alcohols.
 Performed oxidation reactions in an oxygen-rich environment.
 Monitored catalyst performance and stability.
