Relevant Coursework:

Optical Brain Dynamics Lab, Washington University
Research Technician II — (May 2024 – Present)

Wrote Python code for analyzing two photon, fiber photometry, and other collected data
Performed viral injections and surgical implants for optogenetic study of mice
Constructed and fixed lab equipment for experiments (see projects)
Involved in planning and experimental design of behavioral experiments

Georgia Tech Research Institute
Intern — (May 2023 – July 2023)

Literature review regarding the current state of the art simulation of atmospheric distortion of light
Worked in a small team to further a simulation environment in Python for free space optical communication

Head Fixed Socialization Platform

In charge of design and construction of updated platform for use on mice allowing for subject initiated social interaction while the head was fixed for imaging
System logged position and velocity data of a wheel the mouse was fixed above allowing a platform with objects or conspecific to move in accordance with the semi-natural movement of the imaging subject
Data integrated with two photon microscopy recording of a brain region via a custom pipeline written in Python

Da Vinci Based Robot Arm

Created robotic motion platform cable of interfacing with surplus da Vinci medical end effectors
Simple inverse kinematics to control the parallel cable driven da Vinci wrist and to approximate virtual x and y axes while true coordinates being nearly cylindrical
