Effectively can assess students’ educational needs using problem solving skills and attention to detail.

Oakland University, Rochester, MI 2016 - 2019

Graduate Research Student

Designed and performed electrochemical experiments pertaining to biosensors and bacteria detection with real world implications for medical diagnostics.

Gained experience working with a number of analytical techniques and lab equipment. Used cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry to characterize and analyze electrodes with and without bacterial adhesion. Used spectrophotometry and cell counting and culturing techniques to grow and measure bacteria with different cell line mutations. Used soldering to create working electrodes.

Gained experience in software programs such as Gamry, Spartan, and Scientist 3.0. Used Excel to graph and analyze data from hundreds of samples.

Collaborated with colleagues in lab and across departments while both learning and teaching analytical techniques for the duration of my thesis project.
