Junior at Princeton University looking to develop knowledge in biotechnology research and development. Seeking enhanced knowledge on pediatric medical technology through biomaterial and machine learning research.
Conducting preclinical research in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) murine models using 2D and 4D ultrasound imaging. Assessing cardiac function through ventricular analysis and contributed to the validation of 4D ultrasound as a volumetric imaging tool. Performing respiratory function analyses through diaphragm imaging.
Investigating biomolecular condensates and intrinsically disordered proteins using molecular dynamics simulations and computational modeling. Research focuses on understanding how environmental factors (i.e., temperature) and small molecules influence condensate behavior, with applications in neurodegenerative disease and biomaterials research.
• Conducted materials characterization of 3D printed biodegradable metal samples to assess their viability for biomedical applications. • Performed in vitro cytotoxicity testing on various metals to ensure safety and efficacy in medical use. • Engaged in chemical synthesis and processing of novel biomaterials, enhancing laboratory skills with cell cultures. • Utilized statistical analysis and CAD drawing for precise interpretation of experimental results, contributing to research advancements.
