About
I am a scholar who researches focuses on the ways groups use rules, norms, and the language of consent and choice. My first book, Consensual Violence: Sex, Sports, and the Politics of Injury (University of California Press 2016), examines how two groups that willingly engage in seemingly violent activities — mixed-martial arts and sexual sadomasochism -- enact elaborate law-like rules to organize themselves and to demonstrate their legitimacy to a broader public. My second book, Help Me Die (forthcoming, Stanford University Press), is a cross-country comparison of assisted death and the ways terminally ill people, their loved ones, and medical professionals navigate laws that proscribe or permit aid-in-dying. I am also a methods junkie! I am interested in using cutting-edge methodologies to answer important contextual questions. My methods include ethnography, in-depth interviewing, and quantitative analysis, with an expertise in experimental methods. Currently, I have been studying the efficacy of generative AI to perform research method tasks such as coding. <br>

PhD Chemistry graduate from UC Berkeley eager to share my technical expertise across a range of fields, including organic chemistry and materials. I have extensive experience in reaction development, graphene nanomaterials, polymers, porous materials, and electrochemistry. During my PhD, I developed graphene nanomaterials for next-generation electronics. I synthesized complex small molecule aryl precursors and controllably polymerized these precursors to form graphene nanomaterials. I led an interdisciplinary collaboration with experimental physicists and theorists to characterize and study the physical, electronic, and magnetic structure of these materials. In my undergraduate research, I synthesized covalent organic frameworks (COFs), which are porous crystalline polymers with applications for catalysis, energy storage, and water purification. I led the development of a synthetic method to access a class of hydrolytically stable COFs with unprecedented materials quality. I also helped develop a paired electrolysis method providing a more energy-efficient means of employing electrochemical reactions in multi-step syntheses.
