Metal Organic Frameworks for separation of contaminants
My current research in the Dr. Uribe-Romo group focuses on synthesis of oligophenylene molecular struts for framework materials. I also work with Dr. Zhou on computational studies of water splitting catalysis. I aim to be employed in chemical industry following graduation and plan to continue my chemistry education to earn a PhD.
