Undergraduate Student Researcher
Notre Dame, Indiana, United States
Conducted research under the faculty mentorship of Dr. Thomas Fogle, professor of biology, to examine the effects of e-liquids on the respiratory rate of Tetrahymena pyriformis. Formulated preliminary experiments to optimize experimental procedures to determine the most consistent conditions for measuring respiratory rate. Analyzed experimental data to evaluate changes in the respiratory rates, comparing different exposure times and concentrations. Presented the research project to a team of faculty and peers in order to defend findings and gain constructive feedback.
