About

<p>Major: CCS Chemistry and Biochemistry<br>
Faculty Mentor: Dr. Angela Pitenis<br>
My research involves examining the role and effect of stimuli such as light or pH on the tribological properties of hydrogels. I focus on the chemical and mechanical interactions at polymer-polymer interfaces, as well as manipulating certain properties of hydrogels to produce desired lubrication behaviors.</p>
