CWRU DMSE

Undergraduate Researcher

As an Undergraduate Researcher in the Electro-Ceramics Group with Prof. Alp Sehirlioglu, I am researching 2D metal oxide nanosheet fabrication for Lithium-Ion Battery applications. As one of two researchers (both undergraduates) on the project, I am responsible for coordinating work, training others in my lab group, performing analytical chemistry, utilizing several measurement techniques (UV-Vis spectrophotometry, SEM, XRD), and performing data analysis using Python and Fullprof. I have learned so much through this project and continue to be amazed by just how confusing data can initially be.

EMSE 120

As a teaching assistant for EMSE 120 I am responsible for presenting lab content, helping students work through projects, and developing procedures for new lab content. Most recently I have designed, fabricated, and carried out a new glass ion exchange experiment (pictured below) and begun working on developing a slip casting lab.

EMSE 276

As a teaching assistant for EMSE 276 “Materials Properties: Composition and Structure” I am responsible for grading homework and assisting students with course content related questions.
