Imaging of novel NIR probes, peptide aggregation, and mammalian cell culture in the Cohen group at LBNL.

• Analyzed Amyloid Beta aggregation using a novel fluorophore synthesized by Zeming Wang at Berkeley Lab.• Operated Zeiss 710 LSM confocal microscope to measure fluorescent emission intensity of plaques.• Cultured HMC3 cell line for imaging using Zeiss 710 LSM.• Processed and analyzed data in ZEN Blue, ZEN Black, ImageJ, Fityk, and Microsoft Excel.

• Conducted research on thunderbolt mechanisms and designed laboratory experiments at Saykally's group.• Collaborated with a team of three to recreate thunderbolts in a laboratory setting.• Analyzed data and presented findings to contribute to ongoing research efforts.

• Assisted Dr. Petit's computational lab in researching photochemistry properties using IQ mol and PuTTY programs.• Collected and analyzed thermodynamic driving force data to discover new properties of photobases.• Presented research poster at a research symposium at Cal State Fullerton.
