Worked on a projects involving understanding what regulates complexity of neurons in the nervous system across different species mainly flies and mice.

My projects involved thorough maintenance of excel spreadsheets and data entry of a wide range of details, and data analysis.

It also involved frequent use of Microsoft powerpoint for making labmeeting presentations and word for writing proposals for fellowship applications in addition to other benchwork skills.

Worked on 3 different projects involving understanding how neurons make connections in the mouse brain in the olfactory system i.e. a region of the brain important for sense of smell. Worked extensively with data entry and excel spreadsheet maintenance for keeping track of a wide range of observations from the experiments in the 3 different projects. Used powerpoint and biorenderer for making schematics and gave numerous presentations synthesizing the projects I was working on to a lay audience.
