Howdy! I'm Jacob, a nerd who wants to use inorganic chemistry to find novel ways to promote access to clean water.
I am currently a Ph.D. student in Civil Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin, advised by Dr. Charles J. Werth (Civil Eng.) and Dr. Simon Humphrey (Chemistry). My work focuses on the synthesis of multimetallic nanoparticle catalysts for contaminant destruction in a drinking water treatment setting.
