Chemistry, teaching,
and things I’m working on.

I study chemistry. I teach. I do research. I like making things. Currently a Chemistry Professor.

Press and hold the object to pick it up. Drag to rotate, then release to place it on the table. With the object focused, hold Space or Enter to lift, use the arrow keys to turn, and release Space or Enter to place. Home also returns it to the table.

Research & Professional Work

Computational Peptide Design & Docking

Exploration of computational methods for peptide design, structure prediction, and molecular docking to investigate peptide–protein interactions.

Peptide Chemistry

Synthesis and screening of combinatorial peptide libraries using solid-phase synthesis, fluorescence assays, HPLC, LC-MS, and biolayer interferometry.

Teaching

  1. 01Ideal Gas LawExplore pressure, volume, and temperature in a gas.
  2. 02Electron ConfigurationFollow electrons into shells, subshells, and orbitals.
  3. 03Build an AtomAdd particles to make elements, isotopes, and ions.
  4. 04Molecular Shape & PolarityTurn molecules around and see how their dipoles add up.
  5. 05Covalent & Ionic BondsFollow electrons through bonding and ion formation.
