Julia is a graduate student in the Cummins group. She is currently
working on developing mono and bimetallic systems supported by
a hexacarboxamide cryptand, and the ability of these complexes to
activate small molecules. Specifically, she is investigating the binding
of reduced oxygen to monometallic and hetero-bimetallic cryptates of
the first-row transition metals. Julia joined the Cummins group after
receiving a B.S. from the University of California, San Diego. At UCSD,
she worked in the lab of Professor Joshua Figueroa studying systems
supported by terphenyl isocyanide frameworks relevant to small-molecule
activation. Julia is originally from California, and grew up in San Francisco.
