  mentoring_philosophy: "My goal as a mentor is to sharpen the talents of my mentees and work with them both to prepare them for the next stage of their career, as well as assist them in determining what that next career stage is. Mentorship of undergraduate researchers is a unique opportunity in that these experiences the researchers have, due to how early they are have the potential to reshape entire future careers. For that reason I believe it's important that in addition to gaining new skills, students experience first hand what it is to do research and be on the cutting edge of science. My role in this process is to serve as a guide, both assisting them with directly learning new skills, but also developing an idea of where to look next."

  overall_research_project_description: "Thermoplastic elastomer materials are one of the most frequently used block copolymers and comprise products from watch straps to football helmets. Despite their ubiquity, the microstructure of such materials, and how that microstructure influences the resulting mechanical properties, is not well understood. In particular, different topologies, divided between loops, bridges, and links, each play an important role in controlling the material's mechanical response. However, experimentally quantifying the frequency of each topology and their respective behavior remains challenging. In order to overcome this barrier to next-gen design, this project uses molecular simulation to study these materials at the microscopic level and examine occurrence of these different topological features with the aim of designing sustainable alternatives."
