• Explore the biology and chemistry of RNA by utilizing in vitro selection techniques to search for new catalytic RNAs in mammalian genomes.

• Performed Cell Culturing techniques.

• Visualizing separation of DNA fragments according to their size using agarose gel electrophoresis technique, both agarose and PAGE gels.

• Take pictures and analyze the data using UV light.

• Worked with graduate student with his experiment in in vitro selection of RNA aptamers in human genome. EXPERIENCE:

Fry’s Electronics San Jose, CA (Retail Store) Feb 2009 – Dec 2011 Computer Sales

• Ensure that each customer receives outstanding service by providing a friendly environment, which includes greeting and acknowledging every customer, maintaining solid product knowledge and all other aspects of customer service. PROJECTS:

• Orthopedic Cast (Senior Design Project) Sept 2015 – Jun 2016 o Created a premade cast that is lightweight, rigid and hygienic which also reduces application and cure time. o Used SolidWorks to design the 3D-printed shell of the cast. o Attempted to start-up a company by

• ECG (Electrocardiography)

o Constructed an ECG device using an instrumentation amplifier and bandpass filter, filtering out noise artifacts in order to accurately diagnose the patient's heart condition

o Built a cost-effective circuit design, operating with only 100 dollars worth of equipment (e.g. resistors, capacitors, op-amps, wires) - the nominal value of an ECG is $5000.

• Pulse Oximeter/Heart Rate Monitor

o Produced an application that monitors and displays a person’s heart-rate and blood oxygen concentration using an Arduino board, his / her finger and several LED lights.

o Used LabView Interface for Arduino to process data and show results to a file. SKILLS:

• Knowledge of programming languages such as:

o LabView, MatLab, 3D CAD (SolidWorks, COMSOL)

• Molecular biology: genomic PCR, RT-PCR, gel electrophoresis, and pipetting.

• Fluent in English and Tagalog (Filipino language) AWARDS:
