RESEARCH

Cellular Deformation Research 9/2014-5/2015

o Created microfluidic device to measure deformation of cells o Fabricated devices by mixing PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) with hardener, resulting in different designs to test deformation o Utilized Camware to capture images of cell deformation in the device at several locations o Programmed Matlab code to measure deformation index of the cell Graphic User Interface (GUI), allows for others to input their own data without changing the code 10/2013-12/2013 o The GUI represented a chemical reaction and the user could manipulate the numbers which would change the result of the equilibrium equation.

o Different methods (Bisection, False-Positioning, and approximate error) used to find the roots of the graphs. Waksman (Biology Scholarship) 9/2009-6/2010

o Lead group in molecular biology research program where the DNA of duckweed (Wolffia arhiza) was sequenced o Utilized centrifuge machines to extract DNA and then sequenced by a DNA Sequence Analysis Program (DSAP) SKILLS
