I enjoy solving new puzzles and seeing the results have a practical use. I am a Ph.D candidate at WVU where I focus on bioanalytical separations of a number of targets including: proteins, oligosaccharides, DNA, and steroids. Over the last few years I've had a number of training experiences in various bioanalytical techniques including protein expression, separations techniques, bioconjugation methods, and emerging methods of analysis such as atomic force microscopy (AFM). I am currently studying novel ways to separate and analyze biomolecules using capillary electrophoresis (CE) techniques that incorporate bio-relevant phospholipid additives. I enjoy working in group situations and love the experiences of working with undergraduate students during the summer and school semesters. I also work on my communications skill with "nonscientific" communities by keeping my own blog and regularly contributing to West Virginia University's GradBlog program.
