Novel materials for sustainable applications
Interests
Checkers works in R&D as a materials synthesis chemist at Svante, Inc. Preiously they were a PhD candidate and Rosaria Haugland Fellow at the University of Oregon in the Brozek lab, where their reseach focused on the size-dependent properties of materials, in particular nanoparticles of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
