  Collaborated with a group of students at UIUC to optimize data flow to improve the business processes of ATLAS, Applied Technologies for Learning in the Arts & Sciences, at UIUC. ATLAS is an organization responsible for providing technology services to students and instructors at UIUC. Used SQL and other tools to analyze relationships between user data and to design better ways to integrate data. Created flowcharts with Lucidchart and other software. I am a student course assistant for CS 124, UIUC’s introductory computer science programming class for computer science majors. Responsibilities include helping students with understanding computer science concepts during office hours and recording video explanations for homework problems. I collaborated with other students to create fun and engaging chemistry experiments for elementary school students in the Urbana-Champaign Area with the goal of promoting learning science and helping science teachers.

  Undergraduate Research Assistant

  I am working on a computational biology research project with Dr. Huimin Zhao at UIUC to create machine learning and deep learning models to discover patterns in different mutations of proteins to predict physical properties of proteins. The goal of the project is to isolate protein varieties that can synthesize a valuable chemical of interest. Our group is currently drafting a publication. In this group, I have used computation tools such as Numpy, Pandas, Scikit-learn, Bash scripting, CHARMM-GUI, and Yasara. Data cleaning and engineering is vital to my work as this allows models to be trained. I have designed and improved data workflows for our group, increasing productivity significantly. Show less
