After receiving his B.S. in Chemistry in 2013 from the University of Illinois, David commissioned into the US Air Force. For three and a half years, he worked at the the Air Force Technical Applications Center as a satellite data analyst and radiochemist.  In 2018, David completed his MS in Chemistry at the Georgia Institute of Technology where he performed mass spectrometry research under the guidance of Dr. Facundo Fernandez.  He was then assigned to the Air Force Research Lab in Ohio studying human performance aiming to restore, sustain, and enable military members throughout the Department of Defense.  David joined the Prentice group in the summer of 2021 and hopes to apply analytical chemistry and mass spectrometry fundamentals to the challenges facing our military.
