New Brunswick, New Jersey, United States

● Explored the creation of chitosan and lignin beads to innovate a sustainable water filtration system, aiming to curtail dye pollution in the ocean originating from textile companies in the garment industry● Investigated how activated carbon particles attract microscopic metals through adsorption by using standard pipetting techniques to create acetic acid-chitosan mixtures in sodium tripolyphosphate which formed visible carbon-based beads● Observed data trends from carbon quantity variations at different time points using spectrophotometry and Beer’s Law analysis, results were presented to the CBE Department of Rutgers University at the 2023 CBE Symposium this spring● Hypothesized that the absorption of a sample would decrease once chitosan particles were fermented in dye solution for a given time and then extracted, demonstrating that the aqueous solution was progressively becoming less contaminated

Tarrytown, New York, United States

● Conducted investigative research for a C-ANCA related vasculitis disease, Wegener’s Granulomatosis, by performing protein detection on in vitro samples and captured raw data using SoftMax Pro Software● Utilized assays including Western Blot and Protein Quantification for protein detection on HEK293 cells to compare to antibody controls such as Vinculin, Cyclophilin-b, and GAPDH● Performed data analysis on raw data from software in Microsoft Excel to determine cell count and function, hypothesizing that the target binding with a C-ANCA is associated with Wegener’s Granulomatosis incidence.
