Chemistry

Overview

I am a graduate student in the chemistry department under the mentorship of Dr. Andrea Locke. My research focuses on the development of a biosensor for rapid sensing and point-of-care diagnostics to advance applications in women's health. I utilize the VINSE analytical core the most but will begin working in the imaging suites in the coming months. Previously, I interned at Sandia National Labs where my work focused on developing biosensor platforms for viral detection.
