Professional Summary
Intrinsically motivated and highly curious researcher who always wants to ask questions about research, and generate hypotheses to explain phenomena seen in research. Likes to think outside the box, and is a very willing learner. Highly efficient worker who can put their nose down and work effectively. Much experience in research and independent research, with a thesis that will be turned into a manuscript while conducting all of the research with only input from mentors. Excited to take on larger roles and prove myself.
Accomplishments
Awarded a UROP (Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program) in 2019 for research into SOS1, a sodium proton antiporter, and hydroponic applications
