I am a PhD student training in biophysics. Specifically, I'm interested in using cryo-EM to study prokaryotic appendages in pathogenic (Vibrio cholerae) and non-pathogenic bacteria (Caulobacter crescentus). During my training, I hope to better understand workflows and structure determination by cryo-EM.

In my previous research experience at NEIU, I used serial femtosecond x-ray crystallography to study a red-light photoreceptor, called bacteriophytochrome, from the soil bacteria Stigmatella aurantiaca. During this time I conducted experiments at Argonne National Laboratory (Lemont, Illinois), SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (Menlo Park, California), and the Spring-8 Angstrom Compact free electron Laser (Hyogo, Japan).

My purpose is to build my scientific toolbox in order to better understand processes at the molecular and cellular level.
