Education |
2004-2007 |
Ph.D. at the University of Glasgow under Dr. Richard Hartley. Undertaking my Ph.D. with Dr. Hartley
was stimulating and he provided me with a first-rate education both practically and theoretically. During my time at Glasgow
we investigated new routes to stereodiverse heterocycles.

2001-2004 |
B.Sc. at UC Davis. Unsure which area of chemistry to specialize in, the excellent tutelage of Prof.
Ted Molinski and Prof. Jacquelyn Gervay-Hague inspired me to focus on organic chemistry. |
1999-2001 |
A.S. at Foothill Community College. I first became interested in academics while taking general
chemistry from Dr. Londa Larson. She not only instilled a solid basic grounding in chemistry, but encouraged in-depth
thought about the subject. |

Experience |
since 2007 |
Postdoctoral Fellow at Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry, ASCR in the group of Dr.Filip
Teplý. Working with Dr. Teplý at the beginning of his independent career has been very exciting. Through his enthusiasm
towards science he has attracted co-workers who share his devotion and interest, therefore, bringing an excellent atmosphere
to the lab. As a consequence, while a post-doc, my education continues not only through the teaching of Dr. Teplý, but also
from my co-workers. |
