Apart from regular duties, train onboarding volunteers, help oversee all volunteers and their activities

High patient interaction. Spend time with patients, providing comfort and care, while engaging with them in activities to cheer their mood. Deliver mail to patients, and help read letters if needed.

Neural Tissue Engineering Lab - UPMC - University of Pittsburgh School of MedicineOur goal is to find ways to gather neuronal signals using electrodes in brains without triggering a rejection from the immune system. We insert electrode arrays into rat brains coated with special chemical compounds that act as camouflage so the immune system sees nothing. We work to improve this camouflage, so we can better read the neuronal signals in the area

Developed a simulation of a neural network with an induced drug called Gabapentin, to identify the impact on the reduction of epileptic seizures.Introductory level Neuroscience, gained enough knowledge to create and simulate the network in Python.

Computational Biology, analyzed DNA samples of bacteria found in Pittsburgh’s rivers.
