My research with Dr. Bidlack was the first at UCO to investigate use plant pigments in photovoltaic cells.  We explored many plant pigments, and their derivatives, to show that voltage can be obtained and maintained under artificial light on a square centimeter Gratzel Cell for more than 24 hours.  I finished my Master's Degree in Biology at UCO in 2010, completed a Doctoral Degree in Cotton Physiology with Dr. Derrick Oosterhuis at University of Arkansas, and proud to be working for Pepsi-Cola as a Senior Research Scientist in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
