Teaching assistant for ~80 junior-level undergraduates in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science for course "Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics"- Led active discussions using effective teaching practices and provided constructive feedback for students to improve- Interacted with approximately 30 students each week to assist with homework and exam preparation- Took the initiative to prepare weekly discussion outlines identifying key concepts students should master each week

Computational modeling of a shock-induced bubble collapse in lipid bilayer to gain insights upon exposure from improvised explosive devices (IEDs).

- Facilitated high throughput screening of library compounds using automated instrumentation for plate replication and chemical reactions using TECAN, Acoustic Transfer System, and Biomek Liquid Handler- Responsible for chemistry labs maintenance including preparation of solutions mixtures for stability and shelf-life testing- Upheld safety standards according to OSHA regulation through proper disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous waste - Supervised and trained new interns (3-5) by familiarizing them with standard operating procedures for equipment and procedures- Assisted Purchasing and Receiving department by registering all compounds into in-house database utilizing barcode system- Maintained chemistry and inventory supply room and inventory levels

- Fabricated microfluidic channels with varying spatial confinement to analyze the effects of fluid dynamics on microbubble formation in microfluidic devices for applications in biotechnology, nanotechnology, and energy. - Modeled experimental geometry of a flow-focusing device using computational method (COMSOL) to predict effective designs.

- Conducted experiments with granular chains to model complex microscopic models of polymeric fluids- Examined segregation behavior of the system by applying an external force and manipulating the size and density of the granular materials.- Presented an oral presentation at the annual research symposium
