I participated in a nine-month CCIR 1-on-1 research program mentored by Dr. Connor Taylor, specializing in flow chemistry and kinetic analysis. The first half of the program involved intensive classes, where I learned the theoretical foundations and practical techniques of flow chemistry. In the second half, I worked on an independent research project, designing experiments, analyzing reaction kinetics, and compiling my results into a professional research essay. The experience gave me hands-on lab skills, deepened my understanding of reaction engineering, and strengthened my scientific writing under Dr. Taylor’s direct guidance.
