● Created educational plans that utilized highly engaging and educational in-person, online, and video lectures for solo and team-taught courses.● Developed a neuro-oncology biomechanics mini-module in my area of expertise tailored for sophomore/junior level engineering students.● Efficiently balanced heavy teaching load with research productivity while maintaining satisfaction of stakeholders (e.g. co-teachers, funding regulators, Dept chair, etc.).● Won two institutional funding awards including a project leveraging a self-developed data analysis toolbox to facilitate brain tumor research.

Durham, North Carolina, Us

Advisor: Dr. Ravi Bellamkonda● Developed and executed a plan to rapidly build foundational expertise in neuro-engineering within first ~30 days in order to manage multiple projects and students.● Leveraged project management skills to carry out an innovative research plan that resulted in an upcoming publication, inclusion in MIT Impact's 2019 Rising Stars in Biomedical, and Invited Talks at Ohio State and John's Hopkins.● Wrote Python scripts to analyze and cross-reference over 1300 cell migration and morphology imaging data points that revealed new cell biology insights.● Co-invented a tumor hypothermia device (patent pending).

Columbus, Oh, Us

Advisor: Jessica Winter, PhD - Chemical Eng/Biomedical Eng● Developed Python data analytics scripts to cross-reference over 3000 data points in order to identify key epigenetic regulators of tumor biology.● Served as a scientific resource to HCP collaborators in effort to translate nanoparticle drug carriers into a clinically relevant tumor model, which resulted in a publication and continued collaboration.● Fostered collaborations with KOLs to align research with patient and clinical needs to ensure future clinical translatability.● Developed effective technical presentations for diverse backgrounds that resulted in 2 awards for 3 eligible presentations.
