Profile Summary

I am an experienced research scientist with a demonstrated history of working in the higher education industry. My skill set includes: Statistics: • Sample size/Power Analysis • Monte Carlo Methods • Linear Regression and Non-linear Regression curve fitting • Analysis of variance (one/ two way ANOVA, MANOVA) • R programming • Python Programming • Linux environment Protein Biochemistry: • Mammalian and bacterial cell culture • Construct design • Protein expression and purification • Affinity chromatography • Protein characterization (SPR) Bioengineering: • Surface modification • Protein biophysics • Hydrogels • Interfacial chemistry • Biomaterials • Cell- substrate interactions • Bioconjugation Due to the interdisciplinary nature of my research, I have gained a wealth of experience as both an experimentalist and as a computational researcher. During my downtime, I enjoy archery, backpacking and oil painting.
