Nathan spent his formative years in rural Eastern Oregon studying formic travel patterns, adolescent social structures, and pre-firearm combat strategies. He found his love for chemistry at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington where he did research with Dr. Mark Juhasz on functionalization of carboranes. At UW Madison, Nathan is combining his passion for coordination chemistry, spectroscopy, electronic/vibronic structure, and bioinorganic chemistry as a coadvised student with Thomas Brunold and is currently working with Erin and Jonathan to explore applications for T(R)SF spectroscopy on biological systems. Nathan joined the Wright and Brunold groups in the fall of 2012.

Nathan also loves playing frisbee, bike rideing, and going apple-picking with his daughter, Emma.
