Graduate Student (Ph. D.) stepping into a postdoc position Northwestern University - Hupp Group
A chemist that doesn’t know how to program while thinking about boxing is not a good cook. My research interests include electrochemical properties of materials, measurement techniques including electron microscopy, crystallography, diffraction and scattering. I believe automation in labs can promote creative thinking in a research group. Gudetama spirit resides in me.
