RELATED EXPERIENCE: Projects:
Smart “Cane” for the Blind – to assist the blind in circumventing objects and navigating stairs • Constructed a device that consisted of a vest embedded with an array of ultrasound sensors and an array of vibration feedback. • Machined polyurethane in order to position the ultrasound sensors forward, left, right, and downward. • Programmed a PIC microcontroller using C to receive ultrasound sensor inputs and output vibrations. • Calibrated ultrasound sensor trigger range for optimal utility including the ability to detect rising and descending stairs. HandIR – a novel biometric device • Constructed a device using infrared distance sensors to detect finger lengths in order to distinguish between users. • Implemented rapid prototyping technology. • Programmed using LabVIEW to receive inputs, apply signal processing, store user profiles, and determine user identity.
Oregon Health & Science University, Research Assistant Summer 2007 and 2008 Parker Laboratory, Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology • Cloned cell surface proteins together with florescent proteins so that cell adhesion could be observed through microscopy. • Gained proficiency in cell culture, purification of antibodies, excision of spleens from mice, PCR, transformation,
transvection, miniprep, maxiprep, cell separation using EasySep, gel electrophoresis, gel extraction, gel purification, blunt
end vector cloning, restriction digestion, ligation, and calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase treatment. • Attended weekly lab meetings and journal clubs.
LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE: Hopkins Residential Advisory Board, Hall Advisory Board Director Fall 2008 – May 2010 • Worked with JHU Housing and Dining Office to improve student housing and dining facilities on campus. • Organized meetings for JHU Housing and Dining Office representatives to meet and discuss with the general student body. • Coordinated large and small scale events and activities for the general student body.
