Johnrichard Ray Email and Phone Number

My name is JohnRichard Ray. I'm currently a sophomore Bioengineering major at Clemson University. I am also a member of the Clemson University Honors College. I am a recipient of the South Carolina Palmetto Fellows Scholarship and I have been on the Dean's list for the Fall 2021, Spring 2022, and Fall 2022 semesters. Outside of classes, I play the trumpet in the Clemson University Tiger Band. I am interested in microbiology (specifically studying diseases that can affect Humans), Genetic diseases (like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson's Disease), Tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine. I have had some previous research experience though Clemson university's creative inquiry program which gives Undergraduates the chance conduit research in a lab. I worked in a Microfluidics Lab from January 2022 – May 2022. In this lab, I worked in a lab observing the oscillation of microparticles in a microchannel at different frequencies. I would record the time it took for the microparticles to align. I was also tasked with calculating and making dilutions. I also was in a Motile Synth Cells Lab during, Spring 2023, where I prepared channels that were used to evaluate samples through an electron microscope. I also helped to prepare an actin and DNA solution that was then crosslinked. I am also a certified soccer referee in the state of South Carolina and have officiated U8-U12 games as an Assistant Referee. In high school, I took AP Research where I conducted a survey of students at my high school to determine their knowledge and perceptions COVID-19 transmission affects their safety behavior. I then ran data analysis using excel to check for trends. At the end of the class, I wrote a formal report and presented my findings in front of my teacher and other students in the class. During my senior year of high school, I participated in the SC Region 1 science fair where I won the American Water Works Association Water Drop Award and the U.S. Stockholm Junior Regional Water Prize Award for a project where I test and compared the contaminates of different sources of water (bottled, tap, fountain, lake).Contact information: Email: JohnRichard101@aol.com (Personal) or johnrir@g.clemson.edu (School)Cellular & Text: (919) 748-2507
