Research Interests:
                                                   
                                                   My research focuses on the development of bioinspired materials for drug delivery
                                                      applications. I am interested in studying the design and synthesis of supramolecular
                                                      hydrogels along with the subsequent loading and release of therapeutics. This project
                                                      incorporates a combination of peptide synthesis, biochemistry, and analytical techniques.
                                                      Another interest of mine is environmental chemistry, such as quantify the presence
                                                      of industrial byproducts and hormones in the New River Valley.
