Biography

I earned a BS in electrical engineering technology from the Milwaukee School of Engineering and an MS in electrical engineering from Marquette University. While pursuing these degrees, I worked as a research engineer in the MCW Department of Biophysics. I then relocated to Germany, where I conducted my doctoral dissertation research at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion and defended my dissertation at the Technical University of Dortmund. I received a Dr. rer. nat. (PhD equivalent) in physics in January 2020. In late 2020, I returned to the MCW Department of Biophysics as an assistant professor.

Research Interests

My research interests currently focus on technology development to improve magnetic resonance experiments. Applications of the technology range from instrumentation development for electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) for studying protein structure, function, and dynamics to coil development for human and small mammal functional MRI.
