| What is your current research focus? | I work in the Shatruk Lab under the department of Chemistry & Biochemistry. We study transition metal complexes that have spin crossover, a spin state change due to external stimulus. This phenomenon that occurs in these materials are promising for the development of new stimuli responsive materials. My project was synthesizing the organic ligand and reacting it with iron to create the spin crossover complex. The complex is still being studied to determine its properties. |
| Are there any other research related activities you participate(d) in? | |
| Answer one of the following two questions about being a UROP Leader or your UROP background. | How do you hope to impact your students as a UROP Leader? |
| Please answer the question you selected above in the area provided. | As a UROP leader, I would really like to show my students all that FSU has to offer. There are so many resources and opportunities that students are provided with. A very relevant example of this is research, FSU has a multitude of research projects across every field. Entering a research space allows students to grow academically as well as professionally. I would like to help my students get as much out of research, if not more, as I have during my experience. |
