• Graduate Research Assistant (Amanuensis) - Organic Chemistry

  • Oct 2019 - Feb 2020

  Kasper Moth-Poulsen group • Worked on MOST (Molecular Solar Thermal) storage project. • The research focus specifically involved testing different pathways for synthesis of norbornadiene (NBD) photoswtiches with various substituents. • Various techniques used were Williamsons ether and Vilsmeier Haack reactions, Suzuki coupling reactions running TLC’s and flash chromatography columns. • Structure validation carried out by analysing 1H and 13C NMR.

• Research Intern - Organic Chemistry

  • Jun 2019 - Aug 2019

  Bates lab • Worked as a research intern as part of a collaborative exchange internship between Chalmers University of Technology and UCSB. • Major focus was on synthesis and incorporation of an azobenzene photoswitch into Polymeric Ionic Liquids (PIL’s) to make them light-responsive and alter their ionic conductivity with a light stimulus. • Various techniques used were azo-coupling reactions, SN2 reactions, running silica gel columns and TLC’s, RAFT polymerization, freeze-pump-thaw and Schlenk line techniques, and characterising using 1H NMR. • Participated in an elevator pitch competition, poster presentation and research presentations given to my peers and also a general audience.
