• B. S. in Chemistry, Montana State University (2010).

Joseph’s research in the Swager group focuses on developing sensors for agricultural, food, industrial, and environmental sensing applications. To date, he has pursued a two-pronged approach: i) by developing processes for discovering and fabricating sensors from low-cost, commercially available materials and ii) by rational receptor design, wherein analyte-specific sensing schemes are optimized based on physical-organic chemistry first principles.

Joseph’s prior research experiences include medicinal chemistry (Pfizer C.N.S.) and organo-metallic methodology developmentvia undergraduate research assistantships in the labs of Prof. Barry Trost (Stanford), Prof. Stephen Buchwald (MIT), and Prof. Hien Nguyen (Montana State).
