Conduct and analyze research related to industry-sponsored projects as well as those related to progress toward degree. As a senior graduate student, mentorship, training and guidance of younger students has become a routine activity.

Graded homework and exams, assisted students during open office hours, prepared lectures and review material for discussion sections to be taught outside of normal lecture time for freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior level laboratories and lecture-based biomedical engineering courses.
