    • Jos. A. Bank Clothiers

      Jun 2018 - Sept 2019
      Manager/Key Holder

      After a year of working hard and forming friendships with the staff, I was offered a part time position as a Manager/Key Holder. With this position I would open and close the store, help customers find what they're looking for, and mark suits to be tailored to their exact fit.

    • Disability Services Center

      Sept 2018 - Mar 2022
      Driver/Test Proctor

      Provide on-campus transportation for people with a wide range of disabilities. When I'm not helping students to and from class, I assist the test-taking process by proctoring and distributing exam materials to and from the teaching staff.

    • Guan Research Group

      Sept 2019 - Aug 2021
      Cationic Delivery Specialist – Undergraduate Research

      Work on optimizing the chemical process to synthesize denpols that efficiently deliver small interfering RNAs to cells. Switched gears and began designing monomer material with disulfide groups for ring-opening cryo-polymerization, as well as a boronic acid ligand. I then conducted small molecule studies on this unique polymer with the intention of tethering it to glyoxal-modified nucleotides via the boronic acid group. The ultimate goal is to have this polymer bind to RNA and act as a vector to efficiently deliver RNA into cells.This project helped me refine my organic chemistry skills and apply my knowledge of polymer science toward the biotechnology space. After independently performing and analyzing 60+ proton NMR's to characterize my materials, I have essentially mastered this skill and its use. Participated in biweekly group meetings by preparing presentations to summarize my hard work and progress. Show less

    • Li Research Lab

      Aug 2021 - Aug 2022
      Undergraduate Researcher

      Work with my mentor to engineer the metabolism of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to uptake noncanonical redox cofactor to produce desired products. Identified seven enzymes that convert products to undesirables, and began making yeast strains with various combinations of knockouts. This project includes daily tasks such as molecular cloning, sterile technique, Polymerase Chain Reactions, screening precursor feeding conditions, and characterizing yeast strains via gel electrophoresis and ordering DNA sequencing.

      Dean's Choice Award winner – Winter Engineering Design Review '22 Magnus Egerstedt Apr 2022 As the team lead, I oversaw the experimental design and execution of testing temperature effects of growing E.coli cells in a batch bioreactor, under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Additionally, I personally designed a series of batch reactors to scale up the growth of E.coli and thereby the production of insulin to meet insulin demands in the city of Irvine, CA.

Additionally, I personally designed a series of batch reactors to scale up the growth of E.coli and thereby the production of insulin to meet insulin demands in the city of Irvine, CA. My team and I put together a poster, which I presented and spoke with the dean at the Winter Engineering Design Review. Of the 20 posters that were presented in the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering department, my team's poster was recognized as one of the top three. As the team lead, I accepted the award and our poster was displayed in the Science Library for the remainder of the school year. Show less
