Kerri Lee Chintersingh

Assistant Professor, Chemical & Materials Engineering
About Me
Kerri-lee Chintersingh is an Asst. Professor in the Otto H York Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering. Her research interests are in energetic materials, catalysts, and tuning materials surface and morphology for reactions and consolidation. She is also interested in the use of artificial intelligence/ machine learning for anomaly detection and data mining and understanding materials reactions in extreme environments. She completed her postdoctoral training within the Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute at Johns Hopkins University and is a past alum at NJIT and the University of Technology, Jamaica. Kerri also served as a Process Control Engineer.
