Well versed in many aspects of Polymer Science, especially rubber.
Writing of web-page content.

• Living in a Material World

My main focus is on research for my thesis. This reseach involves the development and evaluation of a new materials science and technology course for non science majors. I am compiling an online text of sorts for the course at this time. This course will be compared to other science courses for non-science majors in preparing students with a basic scientific literacy.

• Polydelphia and Paul Lemur

I am constantly coming up with new ideas for these projects, which are then developed by the graphic artists and animation specialist in our group. I also write the scientific content that accompanies these images on the web.

• Summer 2000 - I spent this time in Philadelphia, PA at the Chemical Heritage Foundation on a fellowship from the Société de Chimie Industrielle (American Section). Here, I researched and wrote a website on the histroy and development of synthetic rubber entitled The Story of Rubber.

• 1996-1999 - As an undergraduate in the Department of Polymer Science, I was involved in a number of laboratory research projects. I was also involved in the development of many areas of the well known Macrogalleria from its earliest stages, as well as extensions, such as the MacroLab.
