- Uses CRISPR/Cas9 technology to precisely knockout specific receptors and channels involved in mosquito sensory pathways, paving the way for groundbreaking discoveries in mosquito biology.- Helps develop and refine innovative strategies to suppress Aedes aegypti (mosquito) populations, such as genetic modifications and other control methods, with the aim of reducing the incidence of mosquito-borne diseases.

- Engage in cutting-edge research aimed at understanding odor tracking (chemotaxis) in Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) larvae.- Utilizes molecular neurogenetics to label and manipulate the activity of single neurons, contributing to the functional characterization of neural circuits.- Collaborates in the design and execution of bioengineering-inspired assays, mimicking natural environments and creating virtual sensory realities to study behavioral responses.

- Observed many surgical procedures in the OR and other departments- Observed head charge nurses controlling the traffic of the OR- Standardized the onboarding process for new hires which was implemented right away- Reorganized past files of employee work hours- Interviewed core members of all departments under Surgical Services: Endoscopy, Eye Center, Outpatient Surgery, Cath Lab, Sterile Processing Department, Perianesthesia, and Ambulatory Services

- Researched the usage of a surgical preoperative carbohydrate drink in total joint replacement - Observed orthopedic cases in the OR- Escorted patients from the preoperative room to the OR and from the OR to PACU- Observed physical therapy recovery in MedSurg- Observed multiple patient treatments in the Emergency Room
