At this position, I worked with multiple teams in the IT Department at Thorlabs, such as the Service Desk and Systems Team, where I led the installation of a version control and document management software, configured variety of devices for future company use, such as label printers and cameras, and assisted in resolving various software and hardware related issues that were reported by users.

I mentored 72 scholars at the New Jersey Governor’s School for Engineering and Technology (GSET) at Rutgers University who were performing engineering research at the program, being on a team with 7 other Residential Teaching Assistants. Part of my mentoring included advising two research project groups which published papers on Rutgers’ official website. I also planned and coordinated various activities for the scholars with my team, including a Talent Show, College Q&A Session, and Alumni Reunion.

I conducted engineering research in a small project team at the New Jersey Governor’s School for Engineering and Technology (GSET) at Rutgers University. We wrote the thesis: "Constructing the Ideal Components of Crowdsourcing Platforms for Higher Education," which was posted on Rutgers’ official website and an altered version was accepted into the IEEE MIT Undergraduate Research Tech Conference and presented at the event.
