Postdoc
Aaliyah is a postdoctoral research scientist co-advised with Dr. Sanat Kumar and Dr. Neil Dolinski in the Chemical Engineering department. She did her Bachelor's in Chemical Engineering at NYU Tandon School of Engineering. During her undergraduate studies, she worked with Dr. Miguel Modestino on the electro-organic synthesis of Nylon precursors. She then moved to Austin, Texas to do her Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin under the supervision of Dr. Gabriel E. Sanoja. Her Ph.D. focused on leveraging living copolymerizations to tailor the fracture properties of polymer networks. Her postdoctoral work now focuses on using dynamic chemistries to improve the mechanical recycling of polyolefins.
