In a 10-week program funded by the Nation Science Foundation, single crystal x-ray diffraction was performed on metal organic frameworks in Dr. Jason Benedict's research lab. In-situ techniques along with a device were developed for single crystal diffraction. Intermediates of a dynamic cobalt MOF were found using these new techniques. Research was presented orally for peers and faculty, both as a powerpoint presentations and as posters. Poster was also presented at the National American Chemical Society meeting at Denver in 2015.

Teaching recitation and lab for chemistry 101 and 102. Recitation includes going over practice problems and teaching general concepts. Lab includes teaching chemical safety, proper laboratory techniques, and aiding students in proper procedure. In office hours I go over problems one on one with students.
