• Preformed lab work for research on the regulation of post-translational modification of the dopamine transporter (DAT)
• Performed genetic engineering from modifying DAT DNA through transfection of the DNA into human liver cancer cells
• Prepared buffer solutions to maintain lab stocks
• Re-calibrated instruments such as mechanical pipettes to ensure all error fell within the manufacturer specs
• Maintained cell cultures in human liver cells
• Certified to use ionizing radiation up to high-energy beta radiation

• Published research to study self-assembled nano-surface structures on semiconducting surfaces using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), contributing to the field of surface science
• To test our hypothesis that the surface structures were formed by coadsorption, I created a novel methodology for depositing surface molecules by evaporating a solution on the microscope tip before measuring the.
• Discovered that sweeping with a negative voltage on the microscope tip aided in the adsorption of surface structures, making it significantly easier to research and analyze these structures in experiments
• Invented a novel methodology for examining the sub-surface structure underneath surface molecules by slightly blunting the microscope tip (reducing fragility) and then ”scraping” surface molecules off, allowing us to.
• Collected every high-quality STM image in one of our publications
• Trained and supervised both PhD and undergraduate students to use STM in ambient and UHVC environments
