Alicia McGeachy completed her PhD in Chemistry at Northwestern University (with Franz Geiger and the Center for Sustainable Nanotechnology) where she applied nonlinear optical spectroscopy towards understanding and quantifying the interactions between model systems and nano-scale materials. In her most recent work, she takes a multi-analytical approach to understand the production methods of 18th -century English and 19th-century American ceramics.
Alicia gained experience in cultural heritage research through an Andrew W. Mellon Foundation fellowship at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (2018-2020, Department of Scientific Research). In addition to her research interests, Alicia is also interested in science communication and outreach.
