Focus on developing a low-cost, disposable, stand-alone point-of-care diagnostic and monitoring system to enable caregivers of NKH patients to monitor glycine levels at home, adjust the patient’s drug treatment schedule and improve the patient’s quality of life as well as clinical outcomes. Responsible for training new members in proper lab techniques as well as data analysis. Involved in discussions about intellectual property surrounding the technology. Developed preliminary designs of the diagnostic tool in SolidWorks. Responsible for training and managing a team of undergraduate students to design and perform experiments.

The REDDI Lab is a high complexity CLIA certified facility that operates as a high complexity public health laboratory for upstate South Carolina. The development lab is involved in designing and producing deployable diagnostics, therapeutics, and screening systems for local communities. The clinical lab seeks to provide regular, rapid testing of Clemson faculty, staff, and students and collaborate with DHEC to expand and facilitate rapid testing availability for the entire Upstate community and other institutions of higher education throughout the State.Development Lab

Member of Global Health Creative InquiryWorked to characterize and isolate parasites using dielectrophoresis (DEP) for diagnostic purposes. Project focused on developing low cost diagnostic tools to provide better access to health care in rural and underdeveloped countries. Served as a leader during my last year where I was responsible for training new members in proper lab techniques as well as data analysis. Also responsible for performing experiments, collecting and analyzing data, presenting data at conferences including the annual conference held by the Electrochemical Society (ECS), second author on published paper, Highly localized Enrichment of Trypanosoma brucei parasites using dielectrophoresis, in Micromachines.

Member of Global Health Creative InquiryResearched to characterize and isolate different strains of yeast cells using optoelectronic tweezers (OET) for diagnostic applications. Responsible for designing and performing experiments, culturing and maintaining yeast cells, analyzing results, and presenting data at conferences including the Electrochemical Society's (ECS) annual conference.
