•Analyzed the water and carbon footprints across the life cycles of electric vehicles and internal combustion engine vehicles. •Collected and evaluated data from the mining, refining, and processing of minerals, as well as battery manufacturing, vehicle assembly, and the in-use phases to assess the overall environmental impact of vehicles.•Developed a dynamic model projecting variations in carbon and water footprints as the U.S. energy grid shifts to more renewable sources.

•Developed comprehensive predictive models to forecast global demand for solar, wind, electric vehicles, and battery storage through 2050, aligning with net-zero emission goals•Analyzed carbon reduction efforts of 27 countries by integrating policy frameworks, stated targets, and critical mineral requirements to project emission reductions.

• Compiled 100+ current literature sources on PFAS detection in wildlife, and organized data on 460 animal species and PFAS types. Updated EWG’s PFAS in Wildlife Map by extracting coordinates from detection locations. (Link to Map: https://www.ewg.org/interactive-maps/pfas_in_wildlife2/map/) • Conducted a comparative analysis of pesticide regulations between the US and Europe. Collected EPA reference doses for 700+ pesticides and compared them with the EU's acceptable daily intake estimates… Show more • Compiled 100+ current literature sources on PFAS detection in wildlife, and organized data on 460 animal species and PFAS types.

•Arranged work projects with local Wheaton community and scheduled team members for 8-hour shifts each Saturday to collectively raise $40,000 - $70,000

•Title project: Municipal Water Supply and Demand Management through Wastewater Reuse and Increasing Block Pricing in the City of Pasco. •Conducted background research, organized large data sets and transformed into meaningful result, performed data management in programming language R, utilized Stella for visualization of systems thinking and systems dynamic modeling, and presented to students, professors, and stakeholders at REU conference.

•Analyzed persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in Korean coastal and river areas; empirically observed effects of POPs and EDCs on humans and surrounding ecology.•Collected water, sediment, biota, air, and dust samples to homogenize, clean-up (multi-layer silica gel column, alumina column, and GPC), extract (siphon extraction, solid phase extraction, and liquid-liquid extraction), and concentrated (rotary evaporator, nitrogen concentration) samples… Show more •Analyzed persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in Korean coastal and river areas; empirically observed effects of POPs and EDCs on humans and surrounding ecology.•Collected water, sediment, biota, air, and dust samples to homogenize, clean-up (multi-layer silica gel column, alumina column, and GPC), extract (siphon extraction, solid phase extraction, and liquid-liquid extraction), and concentrated (rotary evaporator, nitrogen concentration) samples to calculate concentration of various POPs and EDCs including dioxins, PFAS, parabens, PAHs, PBDEs, HBCDDs, and Siloxane. •Generated stock standards and calculated calibration curve to utilize for analyzing concentrated samples through GC-MS or LC-MS/MS.
