Doctoral Student
Katherine is a doctoral student in the Material Science and Engineering Program. Since joining the group in February 2024, her focus is on the synthesis of ultra-high pure transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and the study of epitaxial thin films using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). While at Columbia University, she is a Columbia Nano Initiative (CNI) TEM superuser.
Katherine earned her B.S. in Chemistry and Engineering Chemistry in 2022 from Stony Brook University, where she studied the microwave-assisted synthesis of different nanoscale formulations of binary metal sulfides for battery applications under the guidance of Prof. Stanislaus Wong.
