I am writing this post about halfway into the first semester, as it is only now, in the week before LPSC, that I am establishing this website as a living record of my academic journey.

A chiral–racemic lyotropic chromonic liquid crystal system

Published in Soft Matter, 2020

This paper is about pre-COVID laboratory work I did with Prof. Emeritus Peter J. Collings. We examined a lyotropic, chiral chromonic liquid crystal. I mixed samples of different chiral fraction and measured the pitch of the LC as a function of chiral fraction and temperature. Dr. Collings is the corresponding author on this paper, and did a majority of the writing.
