Statement of Interest:
My primary area of interest is electrically-based chemical and biochemical sensors; I feel that the most fruitful research
fields in the future will be multi-disciplinary, and I hope to build a career at the intersection point of electrical engineering,
chemistry, and bioscience. My educational background in each these areas enables me to work effectively on multi-disciplinary projects. Citizenship:
I am a citizen of the United States of America.
