• Designed and constructed an epi-illumination acoustic radiation force optical coherence elastography (ARF-OCE) prototype
• Simulated laser intensities in MATLAB, designed lens shapes in Zemax, and produced an agglomerated design in Fusion360 before ordering, assembling, and 3D-printing necessary components
• Debugged previous ARF-OCE LabView pipelines to fit newer versions of National Instruments software

• Analyzed cell viability after treatment with combinations of progesterone, mifepristone, and Buparlisib on MDA-MB-231, BT-20, and HCC1937 cells to determine the effect of PI3K inhibition on triple negative breast.
• Performed flow cytometry on TNBC cells to determine “stemness” of cell populations using CD44 and CD24 markers
• Optimized an image processing pipeline on CellProfiler to reduce processing time from 2 hours to less than 20 minutes

• Worked on classifying autistic vs non-autistic individuals’ fMRI scans using SVMs, naive bayes, random forest, and ensemble models in MATLAB
• Reconstructed images from the fMRI scans of patients’ visual cortices using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) using TensorFlow in Python as part of the Neuromatch Academy
• Helped predict multiple sclerosis severity using CNNs on fMRI scans using PyTorch in Python as part of an ML course

• Helped organize, lead, recruit for, connect resources for, and design a curriculum for a new project team at Cornell
• Led efforts to design BruxFree, an over-the-ear biofeedback device to treat bruxism using Fusion360 for CAD, EAGLE for PCB design, Arduino for device connection, and myoelectric sensors for testing
• Also designed Exoguard, a smart shirt to monitor posture, and FastenPro, a novel screw to fasten fractured bones
