Originally from the northeast, I received a BS in Chemistry from Colby College (Maine), and then a PhD from the University of Utah in the area of hybrid organic-inorganic materials, specifically unstable organic compounds for magnetic materials.
I received a National Academies of Science (National Research Council) Postdoctoral Fellowship to work with even more strange organic materials (ionic liquids) for energy and materials applications at the US Air Force Academy, and expanded upon that work at Los Alamos National Laboratory to help address some of the biggest challenges we face today in energy and national security.
My goals always included teaching and working with undergraduate students, and Utah Tech is a great place for this.
