Synthesized single-layer manganese dioxide nanosheets & used them to monitor glucose oxidase kinetics in real time through UV-Vis Spectroscopy
Developed methods to examine surfaces of superhydrophobic plant leaves using contact angle measurements and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)
This was an Undergraduate Research Thesis, Prof. Benjamin Hatton in his Functional and Adaptative Surfaces Group
Developed a protocol for measuring micron-sized FeO powders (<5 microns) using DLS by optimizing refractive indices and increasing dispersant viscosity to reduce particle settling in low-viscosity solvents
Then validated results against SEM analysis
This was an Undergraduate Research Thesis, Prof. Steven Thorpe in his Surface Engineering & Electrochemistry Group
