Ten-week research program during which I evaluated perioperative anesthesia for awake craniotomy for tumor resection. I presented two abstract poster presentations and one oral presentation. A manuscript resulting from the research is in the writing process. I performed cadaveric simulation lab, da Vinci Surgical System Robot simulation, and laparoscopic simulation. I observed awake craniotomy for tumor resection and cavernous malformation removal, gamma knife stereotactic radiosurgery, deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s disease, endovascular aneurysm repairs, retrosigmoid craniotomy for acoustic schwannoma, endoscopic endonasal trans-sphenoid tumor resection, and laser ablation.

Seven-week residential research program during which I engaged in laboratory research 30+ hours a week, attended a lecture series on current topics and studied Cancer Biology in a UF honors seminar course. My research involved studying organic geochemistry; specifically, analyzing digitate stromatolite rock samples analog to the Columbia Hills, Mars hot spring deposit. I detected organic fatty acid methyl esters using pyrolysis coupled gas chromatography mass spectrometry to evaluate the current capabilities of the Mars Curiosity rover in detecting organic molecules.
