ABOUT ME
Research
My work rests at the interface of materials chemistry, environmental science, and curriculum design. My lab focuses on developing safer and more sustainable soft material solutions from renewable non-food biomass and waste resources. Using green chemistry metrics and circular principles it is possible to develop soft materials and quantify their many impacts on the environment. By using open-access digital tools to collect, analyze, and visualize diverse sources of information it is possible to connect experimental and literature data to build the next generation of sustainable materials.
Teaching
As the Director of the Environmental Science Program at Manhattan College, I support students as they prepare for opportunities in academia, industry, and government jobs promoting the scientific method across disciplines. This includes coordinating classes as part of the Digital Arts and Humanities initiative and working with students and faculty at the Center for Urban Resilience and Environmental Sustainability at Manhattan College. Using online resources allows students to we can better explore both local and global environments at the same time.
