My teaching at FIT focuses on designing innovative curricula for non-science students and supporting quality undergraduate research projects. His research identifies and transforms local waste biomass into functional soft materials to create the next generation of pigments, papers, and packaging for consumer products. To support this, I conduct life-cycle assessments to further link chemistry and environmental science, enabling practical action to address sustainability in the lab, at home, and in the community.

Beyond experimental work, I partner with experts across the chemical education community to develop open-access curricular materials and assessments that help students and educators contextualize chemistry and environmental science. I am an active volunteer with the Society for the History of Alchemy and Chemistry (SHAC), Beyond Benign, and the Harrison High School Science Research Program.

As a resident lecturer for Lectures on Tap, I give a monthly lecture on popular science topics. My recent book, How and Why Soap Works, covers the basic science of how and why we wash our hands and includes 30 experiments you can perform at home.

I received my Bachelor’s degree in Atmospheric and Environmental Chemistry with Honors from McGill University in Montréal, and an M. Phil. and Ph. D. at the C.U.N.Y. Graduate Center, conducting research on conjugating lipids and carbohydrates to create soft materials at the City College of New York. My postdoctoral work at the University of Kansas’ Center for Environmentally Beneficial Catalysis focused on valorizing waste lignin with support from industry sponsors. I previously taught in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Manhattan College in the Bronx, and served as the Director for the Center for Urban Resilience and Environmental Sustainability.
