Personal profile
Research Interests
All chemistry. I believe the way to innovation is through ‘cross-fertilization’ of different fields. Transformative science can be fostered by going to talks outside your field. The fields I am particularly fond of are crystal engineering, supramolecular chemistry, and uranium sequestration.
Education/Academic qualification
Doctorate, Organic Supramolecular Chemistry, University of Montana
Bachelor, Chemistry, University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire
