Researcher for UC Irvine's NSF REU on Decarbonization.Designed and conducted experimental research project for characterizing lower-cost and performance-optimized green hydrogen production from PEM Water Electrolysis using in-plane conductivity, presented at research symposiums (poster and technical presentations).Developed and documented accurate methods to measure and compare in-plane conductivity of ultra-low-loading iridium-supported catalyst-coated membranes for PEMWE characterization, correlating results with characterization protocol (e.g. Accelerated Stress Test (AST), Polarization Curve, Current Density degradation).Presented accepted abstract and research poster at the 2024 AIChE Annual National Student Conference.

Collaborated with student-based team and led component group to design, manufacture, and test the external structures of a hybrid-fueled rocket over one-year cycle for the FAR-51025 intercollegiate competition with a final apogee of 14,000+ feet.Implemented structural body tube design (SOLIDWORKS/CAD) and layer optimization from load calculations; researched fastener data with hand stress (MOS/FOS) calculations; Organized and streamlined carbon fiber layup/removal and integrated designs with component teams.Troubleshooted and optimized several test and final body tubes; Created new documentation for future leads detailing strategies for smooth carbon fiber layup, cure, and removal.

Fostered a collaborative and positive environment for learning through organizing conference attendance, developing weekly meetings (e.g., featuring current events, flash debates, and deep dives), and checking in with students and answering questions.Communicated with our board and managed efforts, resolved conflicts and planned board meetings, and trained delegates through meetings and presentations.

Pursued my passion for public speaking through discussing prevalent global topics with others during meetings and conferences.Researched and developed solutions for current issues, supported in a written paper with creative elaboration, statistics, and current legislation.

Researched and presented current events and flash debates, worked with school's financial office, set up fundraisers (raised $500) for student conference financial aid, tracked conference funds.

Rehearsed with full orchestra, string ensemble, and quartet for 6+ performances a year, performing both classical and modern pieces and fostering positive discussion within the viola section.Collaborated with instructors to improve technical skills and understand each piece emotionally to convey it to the audience.APA Orchestra Outstanding Contributions Award (2020, 2021, 2022, 2023).APA Pride Award (2023).
