Hiya! Thanks for stopping by.

I am aiming to specialize in the connections between chemistry, ecology, computation, photography, instrumentation, and climate adaptation. In May of ā€˜22 I received a BS in Chemistry (Hons.) from the University of Texas at Dallas, conducting research under Dr. David Lary and Dr. Anthony Cummings. CV available here.

In addition to research I have been interested in climbing and climbing photography for some time. I have done some minor freelance work shooting local competitions, but the majority has been personal projects in addition to research trips (See Guyana in ā€œScienceā€).

The purpose of this website is to host both my photographic and scientific interests, so there is certainly a curious mix of topics.

My current position is as an MA Graduate Student in the Earth & Environmental Sciences program at Wesleyan University. Prior work has been as an Instrumentation Specialist with Dr. Lary, focusing on indoor air quality and chemical modeling. The list of instruments I managed and operated is as follows:

  • Aerodyne Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (HR-TOF-AMS)

  • Syft Voice200 Ultra (SIFT-MS)

  • Picarro Trace Gas Analyzers (PI2114, G2103, G2204, G2401)

  • Aeris MIRA Trace Gas Analyzers

  • WeCare4Air Trace Gas Analyzers (AE2010, AE2050, AE2030, AE2041)

  • GRIMM Mini-WRAS

  • OceanOptics HR-4000 Spectrometer

ā€œTo think deeply is not to depart from the realm of the absurd and humorous and burlesque. They too are of a piece, involved in this big noisy parliament of the human brain. ā€
