profile

I am a R&D Group Leader at BellBrook Labs.

Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher in Dr. Cho's group at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

I got my Ph.D in Chemistry at the University of Illinois at Chicago in May 2020 under the supervision of Dr. Lawrance Miller.

Here is my CV.
