I worked as a graduate student in the solar durability and lifetime extension (SDLE) center at Case Western. We applied data science methods to solar degradation research in order to unlock new understandings about module degradation. In this role I- Led a weekly group meeting for a 40 member group to provide research updates and presentations- Presented research at international conferences such as PVSC and PVRW - Performed statistical modeling and regression analytics… Show more I worked as a graduate student in the solar durability and lifetime extension (SDLE) center at Case Western.

As an undergrad at Case Western I spent a lot of time on research with the Hore research group. We used translocation to gain an understanding of the small scale material properties of soft nanoparticles. This is where I got my start with machine learning! In this position I - Ran and analyzed translocation experiments for the characterization of macromolecules for potential use in drug delivery applications - Synthesized complex macromolecules for use in translocation… Show more As an undergrad at Case Western I spent a lot of time on research with the Hore research group.
