In addition to my musical training, I also have a Ph.D in Chemistry from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. 

Throughout my time in graduate school, I worked with Dr. Bassam Shakhashiri as a part of his group, Science Is Fun, to foster science appreciation in communities throughout Wisconsin.  These experiences gave me the opportunity to connect with people of all ages and backgrounds in the pursuit of understanding the wonderful world around us.

Bringing my love of science and the arts together, I created several new musical demonstration videos for the Science Is Fun YouTube channel which you can view below. I also wrote a piece for the winter 2023 issue of The Badger Chemist chronicling the efforts of John and Betty Moore to create an extensive collection of scientific art for UW-Madison's chemistry department.
