Bio:
Brian is a Ph.D. candidate in the Chemical Engineering track of the CEE department. He received his B.S. in Physics from Wake Forest University where he studied metal-organic frameworks using DFT. Before coming to Yale, Brian worked in the pharmaceutical industry where he used a variety of computational and experimental techniques to aid in drug research and development. Currently, his research interests involve reverse osmosis desalination and molecular simulations. Outside of work, Brian enjoys running, reading, and spending time with family and friends.
