Madison, Wisconsin, United States
I’m an undergraduate at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, majoring in Chemistry and Data Science, with a strong interest in pharmaceutical research, precision medicine, and real-world data analysis—especially how experimental results and clinical data can translate into better therapeutic decisions. In the Martell Group, I work as an Undergraduate Researcher developing chemistry for Csp³-rich DNA-Encoded Libraries (DEL), with the goal of expanding chemical space for screening and discovery. Alongside research, I’m also a Laboratory Assistant for CHEM 108, supporting undergraduate lab sections and helping ensure experiments run safely, smoothly, and reproducibly. Previously, I conducted research at Seoul National University (Department of Geology), applying Raman spectroscopy to analyze materials and strengthening my skills in lab technique, data interpretation, and scientific communication. I’ve also gained healthcare-facing experience as a Pharmacy Technician, supporting dispensing workflows, inventory management, and compliance in a real pharmacy setting. I’m excited by interdisciplinary work that connects chemistry + data to real patient impact. Let’s connect—I’m always eager to collaborate, learn, and grow in the space between drug discovery, healthcare, and analytics.
- Supported undergraduate lab sections for CHEM 108, an introductory course covering foundational concepts in both inorganic and organic chemistry - Supervised lab sessions alongside instructional staff and helped maintain a safe, organized laboratory environment - Answered student questions in real time and provided guidance on experimental procedures and core chemistry concepts - Assisted with lab technique demonstrations and basic instrument/experiment troubleshooting when needed - Collaborated with instructors and fellow LAs to support students from diverse academic backgrounds and learning styles
- Conduct research to advance drug discovery by developing a novel synthetic platform for Csp³-rich DNA-Encoded Libraries (DEL) - Identified and addressed a key DEL limitation: structural bias toward flat, aromatic compounds that can reduce screening quality and increase non-specific protein binding - Verified DNA integrity post-reaction using PCR and ligation assays - Expanded accessible chemical space for small-molecule screening to support identification of high-affinity binders for challenging therapeutic targets
- Assisted pharmacists in dispensing medications, managing inventory, and ensuring compliance with pharmacy regulations. - Collaborated with healthcare professionals to support patient needs and improve workflow efficiency.
- Utilized Raman spectroscopy to examine hydrothermal alteration minerals in ore formations from Kalimantan, Indonesia. - Investigated mineralogical changes across three ore deposition stages to determine the role of magmatic hydrothermal fluids in element transportation and precipitation. - Studied color and characteristics of the mineral for optimization of this process - Processed and documented rock samples, identifying key alteration minerals.
