As an Analytical Scientist in the Biophysics group within the Process and Technology Development Department, I - -Develop, validate, and optimize analytical and biophysical characterization methods to support rAAV process development and product characterization (including SEC-MALS, FFF-MALS, DLS, RP-HPLC, DSC)-Conduct analytical and biophysical experiments to support process and technology development then deliver reliable high-quality experimental data and reports-Collaborate with Upstream, Downstream, PCO, and other departments to determine the best process moving forward with process development based on experimental results-Manage critical samples and prepare critical assay reagents-Maintain GXP compliant good documentation with high level of detail

PhD student in the Biophysical Chemistry group under the guidance of Dr. Reinhard Schweitzer-Stenner. Through my graduate career I:• Explored spectroscopic and physical properties of small and medium peptide chain gelators • Determined secondary structure of amino acids at different pH states in water and with the addition of cosolvents • Explored the kinetic and thermodynamic properties of short peptide hydrogels formed by unlike co-solvents and pH states, and tune the formation by varying the parameters • Determined the reversibility and reformation process of peptide gelators • Mentored undergraduate students to explore the influence of co-solvents on the unfolded peptide conformation of peptides • Collaborated with numerous research teams such as Dr. Nicholas Alvarez, Chemical Engineering (Drexel), Dr. Brigita Urbanc, Physics (Drexel), Dr. Bryan Wong, Chemical and Environmental Engineering and Materials Science (UC Riverside), Dr. Harald Schwalbe, Institut für Organische Chemie und Chemische Biolegie (Johann Wofgang Geothe-Universität), Dr. Lihi Adler-Abramovic, Oral Biology (Tel Aviv University), and Dr. Timothy Vaden, Chemistry and Biochemistry (Rowan University) • Courses taught: CHEM 101 & 102, (Lab/Recitation), CHEM 356 (Physical Chemistry for Chemical Engineers – Lab), 357, 358, & 359 (Physical Chemistry for Chemists – Lab/Lecture)

Performed research in the medicinal/bio-analytical lab of Dr. Catherine Yang. My duties were to:• Determine the most efficient process to extract, separate, and purify urushiol from poison ivy utilizing GC/MS and NMR spectroscopy • Collaborate with Dr. Robert Coifman at Allergy and Asthma of South Jersey to prepare a vaccination
