The project is aiming at leveraging the innovative CLiC (Convex Lens-induced Confinement) single-particle imaging platform to explore cellular processes, with a focus on the site-specific unwinding of supercoiled DNA. By applying advanced molecular biology techniques and developing model plasmid systems, we aim to deepen our understanding of DNA’s structural dynamics and uncover the mechanisms behind gene regulation. This role offers a unique opportunity to engage in cutting-edge research, contributing to advancements in fundamental biophysical processes. Additionally, I am gaining valuable expertise in single-molecule fluorescence microscopy and quantitative image analysis, working closely with senior lab members. My responsibilities include conducting molecular biology experiments, converting Matlab codes into Python and analyzing experimental video data.

I am delighted to work as a teaching assistant in the physics department of the University of British Columbia. In the upcoming academic year, I will be TAing for physics 219 and phys 229. Physics 219 teaches students about circuits through a series of laboratory sessions. The end product of the course is to build a fully functional radio using a handheld oscilloscope, and their handmade circuits. On the other hand, physics 229, also a laboratory course, teaches students how to formulate a research question, plan their experiments and through a series of journal notes represent their findings that later become scientific articles. As a teaching assistant, my responsibility is to help and guide them through the challenging process of experimental physics, as well as read and mark the weekly progress of the students. It is an amazing opportunity to work alongside professors Douglas Bonn, Joss Ives and Andrej Kotlicki, as well as with the new incoming generation of physics students in their second year.

As a Jump Start leader we were working in pairs to make the first weeks of university as memorable for first-year students as possible. Our group consisted of 33 first-year science students and the role includes working with a faculty fellow (a professor) to organize a week of sessions about everything from transferring to university till lectures and note taking. Despite that, we also facilitated a number of social activities, ice-breakers, campus tours, etc.

As a demonstration volunteer we visit scouts and guide units to talk about and teach physics. Since the age group is 6-12 years old, we keep it very engaging and interactive for the participants. Some of the activities include building simple circuits with LED lights, lasers and momentum (tumble toy), as well as topics related to astronomy.

As a part of the Physics Olympics Pre-Build team, we are responsible for designing and writing the rules for the British Columbia High School Physics Olympics. Students are required to build boats that will have minimized acceleration and at the same time high speed, which could serve as ambulance boats. So a major part of the goal is to build and test the chosen route with our sample boats.

Faraday Show is an annual event organized by the University of British Columbia's Physics department. It is meant to be a fun and engaging event for kids that are interested in physics. This year the topic of the show is water. As a volunteer, we design and prepare experiments that will demonstrate the physics of water. During the event day, each of the volunteers does one of the experiments in front of the audience and tells about the physics behind it. My topic is the role of density and surface tension for objects to float on the water.

Sketchout is a newly launched clothing store in Ukraine. They cooperate with independent artists to create unique designs for each of their clothing pieces. The collection I am currently working on is named "Kaleidoscope of Feelings" and there are already a number of published products with my designs on them. For the past two months, my designs have been among the most sold items in the store.

As a member of the Chemical Physics Institute research team, I am going to spend the summer working along with a team of scientists to explore the chemical and physical characteristics of Al and ZnO. I am responsible for the conduction of the experiments with different concentrations of Al, and the collection of reflectance and absorbance both in liquid form and in dried structure. My responsibilities also include the collection of the spectrums and the analysis of the data, in order to clean it up from the effects of the surrounding materials and separate only the data relevant for the research. This is a great learning opportunity that is also helping me visualize my future as a scientist, get to know active professionals, get advice and learn from them.
