He received his B.S. in Chemistry from the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 2022, completing his honors thesis under the direction of Dr. Suzanne Lapi. He worked on fluorine-18 radiolabeling of anticancer natural products known as taccalonolides to evaluate their biodistribution and overall therapeutic potential. Upon joining the Evans lab in 2024, he has focused on surveying mechanisms of resistance to radiation therapy, hoping to develop treatment strategies which overcome resistance.
