Research Assistant
University of Washington Department of Genome Sciences
June 2025 - Present
Working in the Abitua Lab to assist in the development of a Python-based pipeline for light sheet microscopy image analysis of embryonic cell behaviors during morphogenesis in Notobranchius furzeri. Collaborated with the DeWitt Lab to develop and integrate mathematical models of cell movement patterns to the pipeline, in order to further understand the unique disperse-and-aggregate behavior.
Undergraduate Mentee
Neuroscience Undergraduate Reading Program
March 2025 - Present
NURP is a program that pairs undergraduate students with graduate/postdoc mentors to review & discuss primary neuroscience research literature, culminating with students giving a talk about their topic of investigation each quarter. Through this program, I strengthened my scientific communication skills, ability to critically evaluate and contextualize evidence, and connected coursework to current research. Most recently, I focused on methods of invasive neural interfacing for restoring motor & somatosensory function after SCI.
