Educational Background

  • Post-doctoral Fellow, Sandia National Laboratory, Livermore, CA (1998-2000)
  • Ph. D. Organic Chemistry, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL (1998)
  • M.S. Chemistry, Texas State University at San Marcos (1993)
  • B. S. Chemistry, Texas State University at San Marcos (1991)
 

Areas of Interest

  • Heterocyclic chemistry
  • Polymer chemistry
  • Polymer processing
  • Nanomaterials and nanocomposites

 

 

 


Research in the Irvin Group

My research focuses on heterocyclic monomer and polymer synthesis including new methods of synthesis, such as microwave chemistry. Basic analysis, processing, and device fabrication will be performed within my group and then appropriate collaborators will convert materials into more complex devices and to perform more rigorous analysis.
