I recently finished my Bachelor's degree in Chemistry with a minor in classical Latin from Utah State University.
I am now in the final year of my Masters studies in Theoretical Chemistry here at USU.
I am continuing my work with Dr. Boldyrev in search of covalently bound oxygen species,
for which I recieved my first publication as an undergrad.
I have since recieved four more publications
and presented my research at several professional meetings.
Our main hope is that these species will be of great importance to the energy industry as clean, high energy density materials.
