Welcome to My Website!

I am currently a Ph.D. student in Dr. Jeremy Guest’s research group at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). I also did my Master’s degree with Dr. Guest at UIUC. My research is supported by the Department of Energy Center for Advanced Bioenergy and Bioproducts Innovation (CABBI). I received my Bachelor’s degree from Bucknell University, and am a registered Engineer in Training (E.I.T.) in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. My contact information can be found at the top right of the navigation bar, feel free to reach out!

What am I working on right now?

My first first-author manuscript was just published! In this paper, we explore the influence of a biorefinery’s location on its financial viability. I’ve moved on to my next project, in which I will explore the sustainability of novel bioenergy crops. Take a look at my Research tab to learn more!
