SOLEYMANI RESEARCH GROUP, MCMASTER BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING: Undergraduate Thesis • Experimented with deposition of thin films of gold nanoparticles that may be applied for biosensing devices. * Main research question involves the optimization of combined effects of surface wrinkling (to produce nanofeatures with tunable wavelengths) and multiple layers of nanoparticle films (to increase the film thickness). * It is hypothesized that the combination of these approaches will improve biosensing-related properties such as conductivity, SERS and limit of detection.• Present weekly productivity reports at meetings, where the team collaborates to help solve our colleagues’ research problems.• Submitted two abstracts for the 229th ECS Meeting; both report new, reproducible fabrication platforms for biosensing devices.

FEHLINGS NEUROREGENERATION LAB, TORONTO WESTERN HOSPITAL: Clinical Researcher • Published a systematic review comparing different cutting-edge spinal cord MRI techniques (listed above). Utilized skills in reference-managing software (Endnote©) to narrow database of 7000 articles down to 50, which were used as sources for the review. These articles focused on five techniques that use innovative algorithms to improve MRI quality.• Assisted in a neurosurgery clinical study that investigated the persistent problem that MRIs of the cervical spine are poor indicators of patients’ actual health. Performed physical assessment of patients’ extent of injury by using a meticulously practiced protocol. This involved booking appointments, listening to symptomology, encouraging strength tests.• Attended several neurosurgery conferences to explore current research frontiers and share findings.
