3 roles

Analytical Chemistry Undergraduate Researcher

Sep 2020 – Mar 2022 · 1 yr 6 mos

I created Abraham model equations to predict solute transfer into environmentally-friendly solvents by analyzing volumetric and spectrophotometric measurements. I calculated enthalpies of vaporization and sublimation for 33 alkynes coated with squalene and apiezon L stationary phases with linear free-energy relationships.

Optical Brain Imaging

Computational Biochemistry Undergraduate Researcher

Promoted

Aug 2020 – May 2022 · 1 yr 9 mos

I developed scripts and prepared systems for molecular dynamics simulations to evaluate three inhibitors as treatment for the PARP-1 (a human enzyme) V762A cancer variant. I examined simulation results using trajectory and electron decomposition analysis along with statistical tests and designed visual representations to effectively highlight results. I identified key residues and evaluated functionality of PARP-1 inhibitors, allowing drug designers to engineer more effective medicines that save more lives.
