Research Interests:

My research is united by its telos — contributing to sustainability with rigorous science. In my PhD I pursued fundamental research in nano-scale and macro-scale tribology to develop a mechanistic understanding of friction and wear, especially with respect to anti-wear tribofilms. Moving forward, I am seeking opportunities to teach and practice sustainable technology.
