WORK EXPERIENCE

Consulting Intern – Division of Information Technology, University of Maryland, College Park

• Evaluated software risk management process to discover issues of disorganized and inefficient communication
• Conducted qualitative research by interviewing IT Security personnel from Big Ten schools with more developed processes
• Redesigned software risk management process to streamline communication amongst DIT and fellow stakeholders
• Communicated with team members and project managers strictly through online interactions (Zoom, Trello, Google Calendar)

PROJECTS

Senior Capstone Project: CFD Modeling COVID-19 Transmission Around Face Shields

• Developed 3D assembly of face shield and human bust in SolidWorks and isolated 2D slices for ANSYS Fluent model
• Built Python program to parse droplet motion profiles from breathing and sneezing simulations in ANSYS Fluent model
• Exhibited face shields’ ability to impede travel distance of airborne droplets by 42.8% in “socially distanced” scenarios

Investigating Zinc, Magnesium, and Iron Ion Effects on Angiogenesis in Chorioallantoic Membrane (CAM) Model

• Administered varying concentrations of zinc, magnesium, and iron ion solutions to CAM in chick embryo via filter discs
• Observed resultant angiogenesis and tissue growth (or lack thereof) around filter discs of different experimental groups

Tissue-Engineered Blood Vessel Project – BIOE331

• Researched shortcomings of current treatments for coronary artery disease
• Determined reasonable design specifications for tissue-engineered blood vessel and bioreactors
• Developed theoretical TEBV design with optimal durability, biocompatibility, and anti-thrombotic capacity

Diabetic Wound Healing GUI Project – BIOE241

• Built Graphical User Interface (GUI) in MATLAB based on mathematical model in diabetic wound healing study
• Demonstrated prolonged recovery in diabetic patients through analysis of growth factor and cellular changes over time
