Undergraduate Student
Lab Tenure: 2018-present
Education
Pursing BS in Biomedical engineering, Texas A&M University
Research
As an undergraduate assistant, I have primarily been involved with instrumentation and handling LabView interfaces to various experimental hardware. I am also interested in nanotechnology and its potential applications in diagnosis of common chronic diseases. Outside the lab I enjoy basketball, making music, and engaging in the engineering and pre-medical communities.
