Research Area

I have worked as an undergraduate researcher in Dr. Butler’s lab for two full years and am currently attending my final year to earn a B.S. in biochemistry through the chemistry department at UCSB. My projects have included synthesizing derivatives of siderophores for wet adhesion purposes and conducting genomic studies to determine the genes responsible for siderophore production in bacteria. I hope to continue research after graduating and plan to attend graduate school after enjoying a year off of hiking and traveling.
