• Recruited and conducted entrance testing (i.e. Visual Acuity, Modified Thorington, Pupillometry), Lenstar, and OCT scans on participants.• Collaborated with PI on ameliorating study design and measurements of study variables.• Designed and conducted pilot tests on subjects to test mini study objectives• Collated recent developments in Myopia research and presented posters on study objectives at vision research conferences• Prepared guinea pig eye samples and imaged their retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), choroid, sclera through Transmission Electron Microscopy technique to evaluate the role of the RPE in Myopia for Mentor’s paper

• Design and conduct my own experiements answering sub-questions of research project• Perform data mining using Python with my data collected from Actiwatch and HatCam devices (measures environmental conditions and distance work in visual field)• Work closely with Optometry students along with OD PhD mentors in labs and classrooms• Prepared and presented my findings to 2 research conferences: T35 research at Herbert Wertheim School of Optometry, and ViSUR conference with School of Graduate Diversity, UC Berkeley.
