I am currently a Postdoctoral Associate in Department of Chemical Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, working with Prof. T. Alan Hatton.  In early 2025, I will join the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as an Assistant Professor in Department of Applied Physical Sciences.

Prior to coming to Cambridge, I obtained my Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin, advised by Prof. Guihua Yu, and received my M.S. & B.S. from the University of California San Diego. 

My research interests are developing polymer materials for applications in energy and environmental sustainability, especially in water purification, atmospheric water harvesting, carbon capture, solar energy conversion by leveraging fundamental principles of chemical engineering, polymer chemistry, surface engineering, photo/electrochemistry,  and materials science.
