  • Leading initiatives to collaborate with San Diego high schools and UCSD programs to increase STEM accessibility.
  • Building partnerships between UCSD BMES and the greater San Diego community.
  • Designing a high school STEM mentorship program in collaboration with UCSD Bioengineering to provide hands-on exposure and career guidance.

Summer Research Intern

NeuroMechatronics Lab, Carnegie Mellon University
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
06.2025 - 08.2025
  • Designed a modular 'rat arena' in CAD with multiple camera placements, improving visibility and data capture efficiency during behavioral animal studies (e.g., conditioned place preference tests, rat treadmill experiments).
  • Collected and processed von Frey Filament Test data over multiple weeks for the larger study and assisted with rat surgeries.
  • Developed an exploratory data analysis project using linear mixed effects models in R to assess changes in withdrawal force over time, standardized predictors for model stability, and generated data visualizations.
  • Completed multiple in-person and online trainings for safe research practices and animal use.

Outreach Sublead

Biomedical Engineering Society at UCSD
La Jolla, California
10.2024 - 05.2025
