• Culture adherent, mammalian MRC-5 cells for lab-scale upstream processing of vaccine products and process intermediates.• Perform process development experiments to achieve a robust process with high cell yield and cell viability.• Co-lead media preparation procedures, consisting of planning and executing the formulation and filtering of media and aliquoting specific volumes of solutions and reagents for upcoming cell expansion runs.• Set up process equipment, such as peristaltic pumps, sterile tubing welders, Vi-Cell cell counter, NC-200 NucleoCounter, Biological Safety Cabinets (BSCs), and Automatic Cell Factory Manipulator (ACFM), for lab-scale experiments.• Document and maintain records and experimental results in Electronic Laboratory Notebook (ELN) adhering to good manufacturing practices (GMP).• Collaborate and communicate effectively with team members.

Lake Worth, Fl

• Tutored students in Anatomy and Physiology, Chemistry, and Biology in one-on-one and group sessions.

Gainesville, Florida Area

• Designed a three-part adjustable treadmill belt system with uneven surfaces for biomechanical researchers to use to further study human gait variability patterns.• Collected and evaluated Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) data to validate the proper functionality of the prototype.• Collaborated with fellow students and faculty mentors through the design process of iterations, prototyping, and presenting the final design.

Gainesville, Florida Area

• Collaborated with students to design and 3D print prosthetics and task specific assistive devices for children and teens with upper limb differences using SolidWorks and other CAD programs.• Learned and implemented the detailed development processes for designing, printing, and molding of prosthetics and assistive devices using programs such as Solidworks, Meshmixer, and TinkerCAD.• Evaluated integrity of materials with lab equipment and various testing methods with fellow engineering students.

Gainesville, Florida Area

• Evaluated approximately 600 MRI slices of coronal sections of a rat brain to provide a framework for the project lead to develop a map of the perivascular spaces and a working fluid model of the brain.• Segmented the ventricles that appeared in the images of the brain with the open source image processing program, ITKSnap. • Processed the images post-segmentation to create images with the ventricles removed, enhancing the presence of the perivascular spaces of the brain, using ImageJ and MATLAB.• Discussed and created weekly milestones with the Principal Investigator (PI).• Presented a final presentation on the findings of the project to the PI and the other research team members.
