I earned my B.S. and M.S. from Murray State University and recently got my Ph.D. from the University of Kentucky. During my graduate-level research training at Murray State University (MSU), I spent 2 years investigating a thiolene-based ionic liquid for CO2 absorption and permeation, mentored by Dr. Robert D. Johnson. After I graduated from MSU, I started my academic career in the University of Kentucky (UK) Chemistry Department and Sanders-Brown Center on Aging, my research focus is developing therapeutics for Alzheimer’s disease and medical devices to detect Traumatic Brain Injury in the early stage, mentored by Dr. Mark A. Lovell.
