Awesome
Doctor Carrick is easily my favorite professor I've ever had at Tennessee Tech University. He's the first professor that really made me adapt my study habits to prepare for quizzes and exams and to focus. He catches a lot of heat. It's only because he wants to push you to actually learn something about Organic Chemistry. He's very respected and not for the type of students that were unfocused.

Senior Research Scientist, Chemical Development
Supplemented academic experience by performing applied pharmaceutical research on the process development and kilogram synthesis of APIs selected for scale up utilizing a variety of modern process analytical technologies including: HPLC, NMR, GC, LC/MS, and IR.
Indiana University
Graduate Research Assistant
Gained extensive experience in the total synthesis of natural products while completing the C18-C26 fragment of the marine natural product amphidinolide C. Continued this experience while working on the C10-C17 fragment of amphidinolide C. Expanded leadership capabilities by overseeing the discussion section for organic chemistry lectures and the accompanying laboratory course for four semesters.

A general procedure for a one-pot oxidative cleavage/Wittig reaction of glycols
Tetrahedron Letters
Oxidative cleavage of a series of glycols using NaIO4 on silica gel in the presence of a series of stabilized ylides provides access to a number of synthetically useful alkenes. The ease and general utility of this reaction is demonstrated here using several carbohydrates and amino acid derived glycols.

An efficient formal synthesis of (−)-clavosolide a featuring a “mismatched” stereoselective oxocarbenium reduction
Organic Letters
The enantioselective formal synthesis of the polyketide marine natural product (−)-clavosolide A is presented. The construction of the β-C-glycoside subunit is highlighted by a one-pot oxocarbenium cation formation/reduction sequence. Yamaguchi dimerization afforded the diolide aglycon in 18 steps (longest linear sequence).
