Research Assistant

Project Title: Effects of Bacterial Strains on Spirodela Polyrhiza (Duckweed)

Collected and isolated bacteria grown on surface and underneath Duckweed from Lake St.Clair, Michigan

Streaked bacteria on Tryptic Soy Agar plate to isolate bacterial strains

Performed 16s rRNA PCR to determine the various bacterial strains that were on the surface of the Duckweed

Ran growth analysis on Duckweed in high phosphorous media containing various bacterial strains to assess the role that bacteria have on Duckweed growth

Data Analysis and recording of data conducted using Microsoft excel

Northwestern University College of Engineering/ Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine-Roger Group/Rheos -Evanston/Chicago, IL June 2019-November 2020

Project Title: Continuous, noninvasive wireless monitoring of flow of cerebrospinal fluid through shunts in patients with hydrocephalus.

Worked with Identical Twin brother who has hydrocephalus using a medical device called band-aid sensor which was used to detect spinal fluid

Performed innovative experiments using the band-aid sensor to better develop and understand the pathophysiological aspect of the spinal fluid flow and thermodynamics

Published a paper in March 2020

Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis/St. Louis Children’s Hospital- Limbrick Lab- St. Louis, MO July 2019-November 2020

Project title: Piglet Model of Hydrocephalus, Ferret Model Hydrocephalus

Performed Ventricular analysis of hydrocephalic piglet pre and post operation

Used software called ITK-SNAP to conduct ventricular analysis and used Microsoft excel to record data and for data analysis

Wayne State University College of Engineering-Harris Lab, Detroit MI

May 2019-July 2019

Project title: NAC Sustainability and Effects on Hydrocephalus Shunting

Coated Ventricular Catheter with pharmaceutical N-Acetylcysteine incubated in saline

Performed contact angle on modified catheter.

Placed modified catheter in saline solution to be transported to St. Louis
