• Led the design and optimization of 10+ 3D CAD prototypes in Autodesk Fusion 360, collaborating with an interdisciplinary engineering team to translate early-stage concepts into fully functional devices; reduced design iteration cycles by ~30%, improved part fit, tolerance control, and manufacturability, and enabled 10+ benchtop validation studies, accelerating experimental readiness by ~25%.

• Conducted quantitative analysis of performance metrics across 20+ tangible hypotheticals, achieving a ~15% increase in signal reliability and validating design modifications critical for commercialization within the $30B+ cardiovascular diagnostics market. GTRI Agricultural Technology Research Division August 2023 – May 2024 Research Assistant

• Designed 30+ controlled laboratory experiments, evaluating 5+ adsorbent nanoparticle formulations across 10+ operating conditions (pH, contact time, influent concentration, and dosage) to assess ammonia and phosphorus removal and recovery from wastewater.

• Analyzed 1,000+ experimental data points to optimize adsorption efficiency and recovery potential, achieving ~10% increases in contaminant removal rates, ~15% improvement in adsorption capacity, and generating design inputs that reduced projected system inefficiencies by ~20% for next-stage development.

Laboratory of Pathology Dynamics May 2023 – October 2023 Research Assistant

• Performed meta-analyses across 10+ clinical studies by annotating biomedical entities with Unified Medical Language System CUI codes, contributing to the identification of anti-inflammatory and antihistamine agents as potential adjuvant therapies with levodopa for Parkinson’s disease.

• Extracted, curated, and analyzed 100+ biomedical entities and relationships from established bioinformatics datasets to support development of predictive disease progression models, contributing to ~15% improvements in treatment response prediction accuracy. Emory University, Atlanta, GA

Emory Discovery and Developmental Therapeutic Lab May 2024 – September 2024 Research Assistant

• Developed and programmed image-guided analysis pipelines to identify 20+ surgical target locations across multiple procedures and datasets, computing sub-millimeter positional accuracy, precision, and repeatability metrics to enable objective evaluation of 10+ procedural outcomes.

• Processed and analyzed 500+ medical images using computational workflows to extract spatial error metrics, reducing localization uncertainty by

~25% and improving consistency across datasets.

• Collaborated with an interdisciplinary research team through weekly technical reviews to debug analytical code, interpret quantitative results, and produce standardized performance reports for validation and optimization. Colon Cancer Care Winship Cancer Institution August 2023 – March 2024 Research Assistant

• Developed an open-source web application that automated identification, relevance scoring, and structured data extraction from 1,000+ clinical cohort studies, generating 50+ advanced PubMed queries per disease and extracting Patient, Intervention, and Outcome elements from 10,000+ unstructured text passages, reducing manual review time by ~60% and improving cohort identification accuracy by ~25% for evidence synthesis.

• Presented project findings at the 2024 Undergraduate Research Spring Symposium and published results as a distinguished poster in the 2023 American Neurology Association Journal.
