Gaining mechanistic insight into complex biological systems and interfacial phenomena, one measurement at a timeā¦
Our Research Focuses
The chemical underpinnings of the complex phenomena occurring in biological systems and at the interface of chemically modified electrodes require model systems whose microenvironment can be exquisitely controlled. The insights gained from these models are only as good as the measurements we can make, which means adapting current techniques (or developing new ones) to acquire accurate values with system-relevant resolution, selectivity, and sensitivity.
Our intellectual pursuits are not driven by a single measurement technique but rather by questions and curiosities. These pursuits require team members to think deeply and broadly about science in a holistic manner, integrating concepts from disciplines that expand beyond chemistry to include biomedical engineering, cellular and molecular biology, materials and surface science, and toxicology.

Our Core Values and Expectations
We value the creativity that comes from a laboratory environment where everyone's ideas are welcomed and valued. We believe the best way to develop the out-of-the-box approaches needed to solve complex scientific problems is to value each individual while promoting the importance of the team.
We have a zero-tolerance policy against oppression of any kind, including but not limited to sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and xenophobia. Everyone is welcome and celebrated in this safe space, where we work to support and promote one another. Each of us works to acknowledge and educate ourselves and others on unconscious biases, missteps, and misspeaks.
