Director of Research Cores (Central)

Biography

I’m dedicated to building the scientific infrastructure and technical workforce that will enable the discoveries — and discoverers — of the future.

Trained as both a scientist and an engineer, I bring deep, hands-on expertise in materials characterization and micro/nanofabrication, along with more than 23 years of experience in research core management and development. At Yale, I lead the creation and operation of shared experimental resources that empower researchers across the natural sciences and engineering to pursue transformative research.

As Co-Director of Yale’s University-wide Research Cores program, I work in close partnership with the Yale School of Medicine to strengthen and align support infrastructure for Yale’s cores. I provide strategic oversight and support for all cores outside YSM and direct leadership for several centrally supported units. My work focuses on advancing research capabilities, fostering collaboration, and elevating the visibility and impact of research cores and their staff — ensuring that Yale’s scientific infrastructure continues to drive innovation and discovery well into the future.
