Executing, managing, and troubleshooting experiments focused on molecular cloning, recombinant protein expression, and evaluation of protein performance for the creation of sustainable fibers.

Using biomaterials to create sustainable substitutes for modern manufacturing processes.

During this internship I worked on a series of projects alongside other students and volunteers at Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia in Lima, Peru. The projects included: using 3D printers and Arduino to develop open-source devices to monitor vitals of pregnant women and track malaria, and a custom-made, realistic 3D printed prosthetic made from flexible filament.
