-Conducted year-long senior project focused on improving gene annotation methods for small proteins: "​In silico characterization of peptide coding small open reading frames (smORFs)"-Compiled and determined functionality of sequences from several online databases-Executed hundreds of high-throughput computing jobs through the Harvard Medical School LSF platform to efficiently process and analyze over 10,000 DNA sequences -Determined false discovery rates to effectively evaluate the… Show more -Conducted year-long senior project focused on improving gene annotation methods for small proteins: "​In silico characterization of peptide coding small open reading frames (smORFs)"-Compiled and determined functionality of sequences from several online databases-Executed hundreds of high-throughput computing jobs through the Harvard Medical School LSF platform to efficiently process and analyze over 10,000 DNA sequences -Determined false discovery rates to effectively evaluate the accuracy of our high-throughput result-Performed an analysis on algorithm predictions using BLAST, BLAT, and BOWTIE Show less

-Completed CITI Institutional Review Board training in the protection of Human Research Subjects.-Worked with over 20 child participants in a comparative study of Velopharyngeal Dysfunction (VPD).-Used a custom headset & Nasometer to capture acoustic speech data & nasal vibrations. -Analyzed data to determine the amount of nasal air flow during speech using MATLAB & Python.-Helped develope a MATLAB-run video game for the speech rehabilitation of children with VPD

-Reviewed products’ Service Work Orders (SWOs) within TrackWise database for accuracy. -Identified highest risk SWOs for evaluation based on US and international health regulations-Categorized cases into concise problem descriptions for trend analysis using MS Excel.-Created data visualizations for quantitative analysis of product performance each month.-Supported the preparation of materials for various Quality Review internal and external audits.

-Investigated the viability of new resources for students with learning disabilities. -Worked on an 8 week project, culminating in a presentation to the Director of Product Development.-Conducted interviews with current and potential consumers of audiobooks to determine preferences. -Used statistical analysis to interpret survey results and conclude potential value of new products.
