• Categorizing, storing, extracting, and analyzing agricultural, biological, and environmental samples.• Performing sample extraction, detection, and experimental controls while keeping meticulous records. • Completing data analysis and data QC. • Practicing advanced chemical & biological analysis using liquid chromatography, QQQ mass spectrometry, QTOF mass spectrometry, and other molecular biology lab instruments. • Independently designing experiments to test hypotheses, troubleshooting issues that occurred during experiments, and proposing solutions for process optimizations.

• Using the data science approach, I investigated the effects of climate change on the Californian water cycle through case studies of drought, mountain snowpack change, and the responses of coastal systems to sea level rise.• Accumulated experience in data analysis, surface water hydrology, and Python coding.

• Assisted my instructor of record in teaching the course CE 111 (Environmental Engineering) at UC Berkeley.• Led weekly 1-hour discussion sections to help students review concepts and solve practice problems.• Hosted four hours of office hours every week to provide students with 1 to 1 help.

• Received training from my mentor on operating analytical instruments like Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry, keeping track of experiment details, and maintaining laboratory equipment.• Analyzed the impact of burning wheat straw on air qualities based on existing literature and simulation models.

• Assisted my mentor in a government remediation project of water and soil at a petroleum-contaminated site in China.• Trained in the laboratory, with the responsibility of analyzing contaminated samples, designing experiments, and testing for more efficient biological remediation approaches.

• Learned to operate the wastewater treatment system and performed quality control with the effluent water.• Familiarized with the operations and maintenance of various water treatment and laboratory equipment.
