-Explain how monoamine neurotransmitters influence food-foraging and mechanosensory-driven behavior in C. elegans. -Perform behavioral assays to compare monoamine-deficient and wild-type C. elegans, analyzing escape responses and food retention through mechanical stimulation using a multi-worm tracking device. -Collect and analyze multi-worm tracking data to quantify time on/off food, habituation to repeated mechanical taps, and recovery time following stimulation
-Investigated the precipice response of C. elegans through FLP neurons testing to study proprioceptive and motor behavior -Designed techniques for long-term growth and fluorescence imaging of C. Elegans -Maintained detailed digital and physical laboratory recordings of procedures, objects, observations, and findings -Trained in handling, fluorescence imaging with a microscope, and monitoring the developmental growth of C. elegans - Worked as a Jill Barrett Summer Research Scholar
-Design individualized tutoring sessions and learning resources based on students’ desires -Organize collaborative study sessions and provide an interactive environment for review and questions -Peer tutor in courses for organic chemistry and general chemistry
- Provided customer services to residents, guests, and visitors -Monitored residence hall entrance and student activity space - Actively communicated and worked with the Department of Public Safety (DPS) and Residential Security Office (RSO)
-Deliver high-quality patient support, answering basic questions and escorting visitors to clinical locations -Contribute to hospital operations by transporting patients, medical equipment, and packages across ambulatory, laboratory, and impatient units
- Assist in collecting data and identifying tobacco use patterns in Hayward multiunit housing and apartments with Professor Mi-Kyung Hong -Conducted environmental assessments using standardized techniques to evaluate site conditions using mobile technology -Collaborated with a multidisciplinary team to execute research projects effectively. Presented research findings to diverse audiences via poster presentation
