Field of Interest Inorganic solid state chemistry and materials science

Education University of California, Santa Barbara, Ph.D. in Chemistry, August 2000. Dissertation: “Modification of the electronic properties of inorganic cage compounds: Tuning guest- framework interactions in sodalites and clathrates.” University of Virginia, B.S. in Chemistry with highest distinction, May 1993.

Research Experience Florida State University, 2003-present. Associate professor in the Inorganic division. Research projects involve growth of hydrogen storage alloys, magnetic materials, semiconductors, and subvalent compounds from metal flux or salt flux mixtures. Also, exploration of unusual solvents (ionic liquids, polymers) for ion exchange of porous and layered oxides, and for synthesis of hybrid organic/inorganic materials.

Michigan State University, 2000-2003. Postdoctoral Advisor: Dr. Mercouri Kanatzidis Growth of intermetallics from aluminum flux. Quaternary compounds comprised of a rare earth element, a late transition metal, aluminum, and silicon were grown from molten aluminum. Magnetic and electronic properties and structural trends were investigated. The possible roles of the various elements in the flux were studied.

University of Santa Barbara, California, 1993-2000. Graduate Advisor: Dr. Galen Stucky Solid state chemistry of two families of inorganic cage compounds--sodalites and clathrates. Microporous aluminosilicates (sodalites) were doped with various alkali metals to create an ordered lattice of paramagnetic clusters; the electronic and magnetic properties were studied. Semiconducting or metallic clathrate compounds based on group 14 frameworks containing alkali metal atoms in the cages were synthesized and studied for possible thermoelectric uses.

Naval Research Laboratory, Summer 1993. Supervisor: Dr. Susan Rose-Pehrsson Hydrazine sensors. A variety of luminol-based solutions were studied as potential sensors for the detection of hydrazine gas.

University of Virginia, 1992-1993. Advisor: Dr. Bruce Averill Intercalation chemistry. Tetrathiofulvalene (TTF) derivatives were intercalated into layered inorganic solids to promote possible pi-stacking and conductivity; polymer precursors were intercalated into transition metal chalcogenides to promote shearing of the layers. Technical Experience Synthesis: hydrothermal, solid state, arc melting, RF furnace, Schlenk line, and flux growth techniques. Extensive experience with glove box work and handling of air-sensitive materials.

Characterization: Single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction; solid state NMR (MAS and variable temperature work); optical spectroscopy (IR, UV/Vis, fluorescence); characterization of magnetic properties by ESR and SQUID; elemental analysis by ICP and EDS; measurements of electrical properties such as thermopower, electrical and thermal conductivity; thermal analysis using TGA and DSC; scanning electron microscopy.

Analysis: Experienced with a wide range of computer systems (Macintosh, IBM, VAX, and Silicon Graphics) and software (graphics programs, word processors, spreadsheet programs; familiar with extended Hückel band structure calculation programs such as CAESAR).
