Undergraduate Research
Virginia Tech – Infectious Diseases Biology – February 2026 to May 2026
- Participated in undergraduate research investigating predator influences on host-pathogen disease dynamics within ecological systems.
- Processed and analyzed observational wildlife data collected through trail-camera monitoring systems to evaluate predator activity patterns and ecological interactions.
- Assisted with research documentation, biological data organization, and interpretation of pathogen-related ecological relationships within field-based research environments.
- Contributed to ongoing ecological and infectious disease research initiatives involving environmental monitoring and data-processing methodologies.
Virginia Tech – Freshwater Ecology – August 2025 to January 2026
- Conducted freshwater ecological research examining relationships between water chemistry, stream characteristics, and crayfish population density across multiple stream ecosystems.
- Collected and analyzed environmental and water-quality data including pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, nitrates, hardness, and stream discharge measurements.
- Applied quantitative analysis methods including regression modeling, ANOVA testing, and CPUE calculations to evaluate ecological relationships and species distribution patterns.
Virginia Tech – Field Ecology – September 2024 to January 2025
- Designed and conducted independent ecological field research evaluating the effects of riparian proximity on plant species richness and insect abundance across forest habitats.
- Collected and analyzed environmental datasets involving vegetation distribution, soil moisture, light intensity, and insect community dynamics through structured field sampling methodologies.
- Performed biostatistical analysis and ecological data visualization using RStudio, including Wilcoxon rank-sum testing and linear modeling techniques.
