• Provided care for 14 scheduled patients per day under a two-column schedule
• Contributed to clinic-wide performance reviews generating ideas to optimize patient recruitment, turn-over, recall, and minimize patient no-show rates

• Managed daily dental department operations, solidified department productivity goals, and increased patient care opportunities through team engagement, patient communication, and delivery of high-quality outcomes
• Enhanced patient experiences through motivational interviewing, empowerment, and provider accessibility

• Performed comprehensive dental care (exams, diagnoses, emergency, oral surgery, endodontic, periodontic, restorative, and prosthodontics care) to adult and pediatric patients
• Thrived in identifying and delivering solutions for partially edentulous patients

• Evaluated efficacy and functionality of remineralized dentin; Characterization of Human tooth-ligament-bone
• Investigated and evaluated advanced techniques to remineralize as well as restore biological and mechanical functionality of affected dentin
• Operated the high-resolution, synchrotron UltraXRM-S x-ray unit (Xradia Inc.) with Zernike phase contrast rings to analyze the distribution of mineral and collagen within 1 µm ultramicrotomed tooth-bone sections.
• Examined the role of glycosaminoglycans within the tissue types of extracted molars via enzyme digestion, hydrated AFM contact scans (Nanoscope III, Multimode; DI-Veeco Instruments Inc.) and AFM-based nanoindentation.
• Constructed wet cell chambers to house 150 µm thick dentin samples to compute and compare Hounsfield units of rematerialized dentin through the use of Micro XCT (Xradia Inc.)
• Explored the intricacies of the soft-hard tissue interfaces within the human periodontium via polarized light microscopy coupled with tissue staining (H&E, Masson’s trichrome, picrosirius red), AFM-based techniques and.

• Investigated arresting periodontitis through specific targeting and destruction of Porphyromonas gingivalis
• Proposed a non-invasive, non-toxic method to specifically target, destroy, and prevent future growth of P. Gingivalis via triangular silver nanoparticles conjugated to iron-free heme molecules
• Established P. Gingivalis cell line and protocol for silver nanoparticle fabrication
• Proved efficacy, feasibility, and lower effective dose of the novel compound in treating anaerobic periodontal pathogens

San Francisco, CA, US

• Characterized ALS progression via Diffusion tensor MRI
• Established a methodology that detected, analyzed and reconstructed white matter tracts within the human brain through signal analysis to characterize disease onset and progression; the technique was more successful in.
