As a research assistant, I help with laboratory research on discoveries of new therapeutics for rare diseases by analyzing the interactions between human and bacteria cells in our body to better understand their relationship as it relates to gene suppression. I assist in the projects of Professor Jiahe Li's research, running basic cell assays and participating in lab meetings, as well as performing administrative project management work towards current and future projects.

I oversaw all aspects of the team and was responsible for all communication, management, and administration of the team. I organized all team events, ranging from matches and scrimmages to tournaments and fundraising events. I also communicated all aspects of our team with the Northeastern administration to ensure compliance with the university's policies. Myself and the rest of the executive board of the team continue to work towards turning the men's squash team into a varsity team recognized by Northeastern University, considering our consistent and increasing success with both fundraising and competition against a number of varsity teams in the northeast.

For Discrete Mathematics (CS 1800), I helped the faculty run a freshman year course teaching 700 undergraduates every semester. I held office hours several times a week, assisting up to 20 students during a single time block with any material or conceptual questions. I also assisted Professor Ghita Amor-Tijani in lectures, and helped grade all assignments from homework to final exams.

Mentored by Professor Carey Rappaport, I wrote a program in MATLAB to simulate microwaves passing through cancerous breast tissue to improve detection accuracy of cancerous tumors and high water content tissue. Through this, I learned more about complex representations of electric fields, and properties of electromagnetic radiation as it passes through different materials.

Worked under a variety of civil and mechanical engineers, learning the process from start of finish of projects ranging from flooding cleanups to bridge repairs. Visited several construction sites to see the progression of projects from planning to building, as well as how these plans adapted overtime to unforeseen circumstances (weather, contractual issues, etc.).
