Currently, my research combines experiment and simulation to bring the field of chemical engineering to bear on both nanomaterial production and novel nanotechnology applications. These extraordinary nanomaterials have unique geometries that combine bulk dimensions with atomic dimensions; graphene and carbon nanotubes show promise for use in composites, coatings, batteries, and even 3D printing. In addition to my scholarly work, I serve as the faculty advisor for several organizations at Texas A&M, including Navigators, Ratio Christi, and Christian Grads. I have a keen interest in the interaction between faith and science, particularly in academia.
