Reimer Lab, Department Of Chemical And Biomolecular Engineering

Using solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) to investigate metal organic framework (MOF) properties. Developed packing tools and became familiar with the Varian Chemagnetics 4mm probe. Used TNMR to investigate various properties of MOF-5.Built pressure control apparatus using 10 solenoid valves and circuitry; controlled using a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B. Included pressure control gauges, requiring digital to analog converters and complicated circuitry. Homebuilt equipment currently put to use.Designed and constructed a tuneless probe (employed the use of SolidWorks, Python, machining, coil-building, circuitry, and nuclear magnetic resonance).Wrote numerous technical reports and gave presentations to the research group.Presented research poster at U.S. Department of Energy's EFRC All-Hands Meeting.

O'Connell Lab, Departments Of Mechanical Engineering And Bioengineering

Conducting research in orthopaedic biomechanics (specifically on tissue-engineered cell constructs and their mechanical properties). Cultured tissue-engineered cell-constructs, then lyophilized, digested and analyzed the biochemical content with biochemical assays using a Biotek plate reader (DNA, glycosaminoglycan [GAG], and hydroxyproline [OHP] assays). Analyzed the effects of swelling on the biochemical properties of the tissue constructs.

San Francisco Bay Area

Intern at Genentech under Late Stage Pharmaceutical Development, investigating protein-excipient interactions with various analytical techniques (NMR, DLS, DSC, DSF, and ITC).Boss: Jasper C. Lin, Ph.D.

Lin Lab, Departments Of Bioengineering And Pediatrics

Received position through the Stanford Institutes of Medical Research (SIMR) program (62 students accepted out of 1400). Worked in the lab of Dr. Michael Z. Lin. Conducted research (with mentor Dr. Hyokeun Park) on the development of dendritic spines and filopodia using the Dronpa-Intersectin-Dronpa fluorescent light inducible protein system. Designed a research poster and conducted a presentation at the end of the summer program.

University Of California, Berkeley

Worked as a teacher's assistant in an AP Biology class taught by Greg Martinez and Eric Thiel. Prepared labs for students in the class to do. Also helped to grade coursework such as essays, tests, and lab reports. Tutored students who needed and asked for help in the class. Utilized previous class experience to provide insightful commentary and helpful feedback (took the class from June 2011 – August 2011).
