- I intend to practice Intellectual Property Law, specifically in Patent Litigation or Patent Prosecution after law school.
Due to my legislative lobbying experience, I also maintain a strong interest in the legislative process, and am also considering legislative advocacy on behalf of the sciences.

My research focuses on surfaces and interfaces of materials systems for energy conversion, in particular the characterization of the electronic, chemical and structural properties of these systems. Research focus on the physical and electronic characterization of several categories of devices for photoelectrochemical (PEC) hydrogen production by solar water splitting, including transition metal oxides, III-V binary and ternary semiconductors, and chalcogenide semiconductors.
