Graduate Student, The McLean Group
Clemson University, SC – B.S. in Chemistry
Background:
Walker is from Hartsville, SC and obtained his B.S. in Chemistry from Clemson University. During his time there her worked in the Chouinard Research group doing ion mobility mass spectrometry research on steroid isomers using the SLIM ion mobility platform.
Since, Walker joined the McLean research group in the Spring of 2025. His current project is studying native-like protein unfolding dynamics on the SLIM platform. In his free time, he likes to play the guitar and work on electronics.
