● Devised an experimental plan for comparing particle size distributions obtained via two methods (laser diffraction and image analysis) by simulating distributions for placebo and size standard particles.● Recommended laser diffraction as the preferred method for evaluating particle size distributions by determining that it provides accurate values for opaque and transparent particles.● Interpreted results, identified anomalies, and effectively communicated recommendations by incorporating knowledge and experimental results.● Increased project team’s efficiency by quickly gaining proficiency with unfamiliar instruments and techniques, including SEM, laser diffraction, and USP dissolution testing.● Assessed engineering modifications by using HPLC to quantify the potency of particles manufactured during formulation experiments.● Ensured client satisfaction by following client’s sample preparation protocols.

Facilitated students’ learning in an upper-division inorganic chemistry laboratory course.• Strengthened students’ mastery of inorganic chemistry topics and general scientific skills by providing guidance on how to conduct literature reviews with library tools, write lab reports, and troubleshoot experimental results. • Minimized the need for repairs and maintained integrity of data collected by teaching nine students how to properly operate fluorescence and IR instruments.

Developed a smartphone-based colorimetric analysis program to improve accuracy and lower the cost of an experiment commonly used to illustrate reaction rates in general chemistry.• Enhanced usability of Python scripts for colorimetric analysis by programming user interface optimizations.• Confirmed reliable performance and reproducibility of the colorimetric analysis tool by designing and conducting test experiments for the tool’s initial two use cases.• Enabled 16 inexperienced chemistry students to produce accurate results with the smartphone analytical tool by authoring detailed procedures for user beta testing.

Created and enhanced documentation for Stanford’s email system and related software.• Improved IT departments’ understanding of email flow within the university and between affiliated organizations (SLAC and hospitals) by conducting informational interviews with over ten subject matter experts to author comprehensive system documentation.• Developed targeted questions to fill information gaps on account provisioning and interactions with information security programs.• Increased effectiveness and efficiency of system documentation by validating the accuracy of information in the newly-created documentation with subject matter experts.

Designed user-friendly, informative websites to communicate the internal services and resources provided to the University and to make departmental resources more readily available .• Ensured departmental website maintainability by implementing the sites using University-standard content management software and code (HTML and CSS) that met University design specifications.• Migrated departmental websites from development to production environments by collaborating with the University communications team.• Streamlined the website update process by authoring maintenance procedures.

Supported operations of the diagnostic lab and researchers within the department.• Verified proper functionality of hematology analyzers using daily quality control tests.• Monitored health of aquatic research animals by conducting biweekly water quality tests of pH, dissolved oxygen, and ammonia.• Saved money and maintained experimental integrity by conducting a department-wide inventory of reagents and control samples while properly disposing of expired materials.• Confirmed experimental viability of laboratory mice and rats by preparing blood serum samples for use in biweekly assays, such as ELISA.
