Welcome Message

Thank-you for visiting my website.

I will be posting periodically in order to update you on the new and interesting things that I have been up to.

My research is in direct methanol fuel cell technology (DMFC). I think that the fuel cell field is very exciting and I am proud to be a part of such a dynamic field right now. To learn more about my research and my research group, check out the DMFC Research section of the site. I have a listing of published journal papers, presentations, poster sessions, and fun facts about fuel cell technology.

Although I devote the bulk of my time to research and coursework, I balance these elements with Extracurricular Activities. The major theme here is: service! If you visit this part of my website, you will learn of my work as a mentor to both undergraduate & graduate students, and the other cool things that I like to do when I am not underneath the books... :)

Please drop me a line by visiting the Contact Information section of the site. There, you will find my email address and mailing address.
