Water Quality Monitoring and Restoration Intern, UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden, UC Davis, Apr. 2017 –Jun. 2017
Collected water samples and discussed field and laboratory quality control/quality assurance protocols.
Collected and preserved water samples, conducted Microbial pathogen analysis (E. coli), measured nutrients(N&P), dissolved organic carbon, suspended sediments, chlorophyll, biological oxygen demand, trace metals, etc.
Conducted field measurements using sensor technology (turbidity, chlorophyll, pH, specific conductivity, temperature).
Interacted with the campus staff implementing the stream restoration to learn about their remediation strategies, discussed analytical methods and ongoing results.
Assistant Laboratory Technician, USDA Kluepfel Lab, UC Davis, May. 2016 – Oct. 2016
Plant pathology study of Anaerobic Soil Disinfestation (ASD) on Almond tree.
Collected and recorded measured soil electric potential, soil PH, soil microbe activity of hundreds of soil sample.
Cultivation and analyzed of soil microorganism, includes Anaerobic Soil Disinfestation, E coli, etc.
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for amplify the target DNA, in order to further more study it's characteristic.
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) gel electrophoresis to identify the targeted DNA, and classify the microbe's species.
Conducted greenhouse work including tying hundreds of plants with stakes, monitoring and maintaining research plots
