Experience/Projects

Senior Design Project (Mechanostem) September 2015-June 2016

Design and Testing of Stem Cell Differentiation device to control the intrinsic mechanical microenvironment of stem cells in 2D culture.

Demonstrated successful product development at the BMES Student Design Competition by representing UC Riverside.

Designed a device for stem cell differentiation research that was 5% the cost of its market equivalent while retaining high quality results.

Utilized Solidworks to design and construct the 3D printed device.

Played a lead role in testing and calibration of device to ensure consistency and accuracy.

Developed an effective strain and stiffness testing procedure for PDMS and PCL substrate to ensure reproducibility as well as minimize error.

Analyzed testing data to demonstrate viability of device and characterize biaxial strain through vertical induced displacement.

Wrote weekly reports and conducted meetings to analyze and adjust work procedures for continuous improvement.

Undergraduate Research Assistant July 2015-May 2016

Assisted in experiments focused on quality control and biotechnological processes involving protein-protein interactions, the SUMOylation pathway, and high-throughput drug screenings.

Developed action plans, in collaboration with graduate students, based on experimental results and research journals.

Documented adaptations, observations, and results of experiments.

Experience with Bacterial Transformation, Protein Expression, and Protein Purification protocols.

Frequent use of aseptic laboratory techniques under guided safety and regulatory protocols.
