My research focuses on the design, synthesis, and analysis of paramagnetic Co(II)-based chemical exchange saturation transfer (paraCEST) agents as potential MRI probes, with an overall goal of enhancing the paraCEST sensitivity for pre-clinical translation of this technique.

As a graduate student at UB, I enjoy the sense of community within the chemistry department and the Morrow group, and having access to resources such as the NMR Center and CIC where I’ve been able to learn various analytical techniques.

Outside of the lab, I enjoy nature hikes, nature photography, birding, and playing with my tabby cat Miranda.
