Building wearable neurotechnology that can achieve the same benefits as some pharmaceuticals but without chemicals or negative side effects.

Advancing the science of genomics

uBeam wirelessly transmits electricity through the air to charge electronic gadgets remotely. It's like WiFi for energy.

Represented NASA at various science/technology/engineering/mathematics (STEM) events. My job was to engage and inspire students interested in STEM research, aerospace education, and space exploration with the goal of accelerating the growth and development of NASA.

Using 1.7 billion year old calcium carbonate stromatolites to research Raman Spectroscopy as a technique for future Mars rovers in the detection of organics in Martian rocks with Dr. Chris McKay, Dr. Bin Chen, and Zuki Tanaka.

Researched stromatolites in the Mojave Desert (CA) as Precambrian analogs to possible life on Mars. I worked with Planetary Scientist Dr. Chris McKay of NASA Ames Research Center.http://quest.nasa.gov/projects/spacewardbound/mojave2010/bios/perry.html

Researched the biocompatibility of cyanobacteria and microalgae with nanosatellite hardware for their potential application on the International Space Station for oxygen, food for astronauts, and use as biofuels.
