• Built and calibrated a custom Brillouin scattering spectroscopy microscope to observe material properties using non-invasive optics
• Utilized MATLAB to differentiate platelet activation from images taken with an ImageStream flow cytometer

Houston, Texas Area

• Published user-friendly data analysis software to separate and identify Raman and fluorescence peaks from a single overlapping dataset, allowing the collection of more detailed diagnostic information in a single test
• Utilized optical tissue clearing to characterize and identify tertiary lymphoid structures inside tumor masses to classify the immune system response
• Developed and performed adhesion kinetic flow chamber studies around tumor microvascular interactions with drug delivery microparticles
• Analyzed all data with self-written MATLAB scripts

Sunnyvale, CA

• Wrote verification and validation procedure documentation for the FDA quality system regulations (QSR) and ISO 13485
• Designed and implemented test protocols for the ultrasound transducer controller to ensure the safety of the robotic device
• Ported C++ software from Linux to QNX to improve code performance and efficiency

San Mateo, CA

• Led a team through a Human-Centered Design course focused on redesigning a comprehensive yet straightforward method of presenting a patient’s medical bills while also encouraging them to pay
• Prototyped the workflow and delivery method of a new bill payment method
• Collaborated with the intern class to develop a company-wide policy for mediating disgruntled customers

Bryan/College Station, Texas Area

• Built computer-aided design models and fabricated a device (i.e. shock tube) to replicate the physiological repercussions of blast-induced traumatic brain injury (TBI) in animal models
• Designed an Arduino Due microcontroller system, based off an Atmel ARM Cortex-M3, which handles shock tube operation, such as tank set-pressure, pressure monitoring, and membrane puncturing
• Assisted with fluid dynamic simulations of the animal restraint device

Austin, Texas Area

• Produced an application that brought monitoring services and processes of the PayPal Global Operations division into a convenient and mobile interface
• Professionally-trained in seven new programming languages to build the entire front- and back-end experience

Instructed and motivated children age 5 – 17 to advance in their swimming speed and technique.
