Engaged in cutting-edge research at the Singh Center for Nanotechnology, under the guidance of PhD candidate Sophia Handley. My primary investigation focused on understanding the propulsion mechanisms of alternating current (AC)-driven microrobots that were 45µm wide, colloquially termed "rave bots." I was granted the opportunity to understand advanced cleanroom techniques at the University of Pennsylvania's Nanofabrication Facility, focusing mainly on optical lithography.

Analyzed advanced simulations run on the NYU Greene supercomputer under Professor Glen Hocky, evaluating how the concentration of ribosomes inside a cell affected the formation of droplet-like structures called biomolecular condensates. Discovered how in vitro properties of liquid-liquid phase separation could differ from natural human environments. This research is crucial as cell mutations that affect this process are linked to many fatal diseases such as cancer and ALS.1 of 38 girls selected nationally for the NYU GSTEM program. Completed academic research paper and presented at GSTEM symposium.
