Researcher in the Biomicrofluidics Lab (biomicrofluidics.com) led by Professor Dino Di CarloFocus: microtechnologies for mechanical phenotyping of cells, investigating behaviors of leukocytes during immune response, and HTS and drug discovery

Assisted assembly and trouble-shooting of the 2014 CLEO Innovation Award winning IR Microscope prototype (since released as Spero, Daylight Solutions)Designed and assembled multi-speed 3-axis joystick controller for the Spero IR Microscope (designed chassis, made harnesses and wrote internal interfacing program)Maintained inventory and BOM for entire prototyping phase of the Spero project

Took "time off" between finishing undergrad (Dec 2012) and starting an extended internship (April-Sept 2013) and later transitioning to graduate school-- Gave private and group lessons to beginner snowboarders and skiers of all ages.

Worked under the guidance of Dr. Dino Di Carlo and Dr. Aydogan Ozcan:--Lead researcher and author for project on development of a lensfree microscopy-based automated cell-tracking platform, since published in Scientific Reports (see below).

Designed and tested novel protocols for creating hermetic seals on implantable electrodes
