Education
STEM Education
In High School, I was enrolled in the Macomb Academy of Arts and Sciences, where I took Honors Math, Science, and Computer Science courses. I have a trimester of Chemistry Lab assistant experience, as well as two years of chemistry lab work for class.
Research Education
While in the Macomb Academy of Arts and Sciences, students were required to work on year-long research projects.
These projects were structured similar to college undergraduate research, where groups of 3-4 students choose a scientific hypothesis that can be quantifiably tested, proceeding with 10 weeks of data collection, a paper on the scientific background of the project, statistical analysis on the data collected (including mean/median/mode, standard deviation, normal distribution curves, ANOVA testing, and t-testing on each gradient / sets of gradients), a formal research paper structured similar to professional papers, and finally, a 10-15 minute PowerPoint presentation on our research. This occurred every year of a student's education at MA2S.
During the 4 years I attended, I worked on the following Projects:
- The Effect of Various types of salts and the generated color when burned
- The Effect of Various surfaces and frequencies on sound permeance
- The Effect of Changing voltage passing through a coil on the EMF produced
- The Effect of Electromagnetic Field Exposure Duration on the Growth, Pupation, and Mortality Rates of Tenebrio Molitor Larvae
The Documents created for Project #4 are listed below.
- 2013-2014 Research Proposal
- 2013-2014 Background Paper
- 2013-2014 Final Research Paper
- 2013-2014 Research Presentation
NOTE: I do not take full ownership of the files listed above, as I was in a group of 4 students including myself.
Project Design Education
- In High School, I was involved in my FIRST FRC Robotics Team, 1718, The Fighting Pi.
A first team has 6 weeks to build a robot from scratch from game documentation released on the first day of the season, usually on the first weekend of January each year. Through this program, I learned the LabVIEW programming language, control system application, wiring, soldering, professional presentation and public speaking abilities, teaching skills, and leadership experience. I was the 'Electrical Captain' for two years, teaching new students how to program, wire, and control the robot built every year. I also initiated the task of creating and hosting off-season electrical / controls lessons, and taught these courses twice.
Research Interests
My research interests for college include:

- 3D Printing
