    Ep. 49. - Interview with Babak Anasori, PhD

    In this week's episode I had the pleasure of chatting with Professor Babak Anasori, who is an old friend of mine from my time at Drexel. Babak was a PhD student when I arrived at Drexel in the Materials Science department and by the time I was graduating, he was a post-doc in my lab. We had some great times at conferences and some even better research conversations. Babak is now a professor with his own research group and it's exciting to hear about all the things he is working on, including an international competition for science as art masterpieces called Nanoartography!

    Ep. 48 - Interview with Chris Shuck, PhD

    In this week's episode I had the pleasure of chatting with a professor who has just started his role at Rutgers only two weeks ago! Professor Chris Shuck did his post-doc in the same lab at Drexel that I did my PhD and it was fun to hear about his experience in the lab after I had left. He also had a wild path from undergrad through to where he is now, always finding himself studying materials while never getting a degree in Materials Science. I hope you enjoy our conversation!

    This week I got a chance to (virtually) meet and interview Anurag Roy who is currently a post doc in the UK! He tells me his story of how he ended up doing a PhD, what he has learned about himself, and what his goals are in the future.

    Ep. 45 - Interview with Rob Wexler, PhD

    In this week's episode I had the pleasure of catching up with an old High School classmate of mine. Rob Wexler, PhD was an undergrad interested in chemistry who seemed to always create unfortunate situations as an experimentalist. Once he found his way to theoretical chemistry and modeling, he never left academia. As a professor now, Rob has a lot of entertaining stories and we had a super fun time catching up. I hope you all enjoy our conversation as much as I did! Follow us on Instagram at @impactfactorpod Logo design by Rebecca Van Aken. Music by Katie Van Aken.
