Experimental work
I research and plan experiments, prepare solutions, and spin-coat polymer films onto QCM crystals. During deposition, I collect QCM measurements to follow the mass response. I also collect FTIR spectra and XRD patterns to compare samples and investigate the effects of processing.
The broader work examines precursor uptake and retention in polymers using zinc- and aluminum-based deposition chemistries. QCM mass changes alone do not establish material structure.
Crystal Tools
I’m developing Crystal Tools to clean QCM exports, inspect mass changes, and compare experimental runs. It builds on my Python scripts and remains a local analysis prototype.
Research is ongoing. Unpublished conditions and results are not included here.
