I am a second year PhD student in Michael McGehee's group at Stanford working on device physics of organic solar cells.
I grew up in Wayland, MA and went to the great public schools there. At Harvard I studied Chemistry and Physics and became interested
in light-matter interactions working in Eric Mazur's photonics lab. I also became interested
in soft condensed matter physics working with Heinrich Jaeger at UChicago.
While teaching freshman chemistry at Harvard I learned about CalTech professor
Nathan Lewis' Global Energy Perspective lecture which was highly influential in my decision to pursue research in solar energy. I
did my Masters at Cambridge University where I studied nanoparticle (CdTe)-polymer blend solar cells with
Neil Greenham.
