Irvine, California, United States
Being goal oriented, I understand the importance of creating a plan, and tracking progress, while making incremental adjustments to maximize chances of successfully achieving the goal. This method has served me in academics, athletics and in my personal life, and has allowed me to develop time management skills and efficient work habits through balancing my social life with the demands of biomedical engineering, while proving to maintain high quality outputs in both aspects. I value the development of interpersonal relationships to create effective working environments. I lead by example by completing my work promptly and strive to support and encourage others.
Keasling Lab Metabolic Engineering
Liu Lab - Applied directed evolution to optimize protein function and improve receptor-binding affinity for therapeutic use. - Leveraged advanced techniques like yeast surface display and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) to identify high-affinity protein variants. - Led protein engineering initiatives for targeted therapies in cancer and neuromuscular disorders. - Designed and implemented innovative genetic engineering strategies to enhance library transformations and selection efficiency.
Ljubetic Lab - Created novel stable protein assemblies that showed binding and diffusion along engineered tracks in vitro. - Optimized the design pipeline by integrating early-stage geometric and interface-quality filters to eliminate unstable or structurally incompatible candidates - Demonstrated proof-of-concept motion using mass photometry and TIRF-based diffusion tracking.
