Under the guidance of Dr. Craig Snoeyink, fabricated high-voltage microfluidic test chips at a depth of ten microns while spearheading the optimization of fabrication procedures, leading to a increase in yield by 85%. Implemented key steps to prevent channel collapse, ensuring consistent and reliable microfluidic chip production. Co-authored a significant study on microfluidic chip dielectric strength http://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6439/acffd5. Assisted in designing and building a home built mask alignment device to increase precision in fabrication process.

Conducted office hours to assist and clarify class content for 20 students with their designated homework. Assisted students in grasping the fundamental assumptions necessary to solve fluid based problems. Facilitated exam review sessions for over 60 students to alleviate concerns about specific topic comprehension.
