About Me

I am  graduate student in Caltech's Division of Chemsitry and Chemical Engineering, in Dr. Harry Gray's lab. I am currently focusing my research on studying the effects of Cu(II) binding to Nsp1, a SARS-CoV-2 protein. With expertise in biochemistry, spectroscopy, and physical organic chemistry, I am applying various techniques like protein expression and purification, fluorescence spectroscopy, and circular dichroism, to contribute to the field of bioinorganic chemistry. I am constantly seeking opportunities to expand my knowledge and skills in the field of chemistry and biology.
