As a member of Dr Vahe Bandarian's group, I study the function of oxygen-sensitive radical SAM enzymes using basic enzymology techniques. The goal of my investigation is to decipher the mechanism of how the enzymes catalyze the radical-mediated transformations.

I teach Introduction to Chemistry I and II for majors under the topic of Chemical Thinking. The teaching philosophy of the course is centered on activity based learning using in class problems. The majority of the problems are focused on every day applications of chemistry to allow the students to critically think about and apply the fundamentals of chemistry to solve them.
