I am focusing on skeletal muscle epigenetics research at the Romero Lab. Where we focus on understanding the genetic and biochemical mechanisms that get activated in physically active individuals and how diet and environmental factors influence the expression of enhancers.
Investigating HIF gene expression and its relation to circadian rhythm regulation within zebrafish models.
I contribute to research investigating the effects of psychedelics on neuroplasticity, with a focus on 5-HT2AR-expressing neurons to study the neural mechanisms underlying behavioral and synaptic changes.
Synthesis of main group metalloporphyrins for use as a tunable Lewis acid catalyst, done in an effort to aid in the sustainability of chemical synthesis when used in place of precious metals used in catalysis today.
Rotation student
How does layering soil health practices lead to successful implementation of No-till in organic systems?
I work in the Moreno Lab studying how ocean biology and chemistry interactions influence marine ecosystems. We investigate how marine plankton respond to environmental changes such as temperature shifts, nutrient availability, and pollution. Our observations help us understand how these factors may affect harmful algal blooms, ocean oxygen levels, and carbon cycling
Creating a molecular network to help in identifying metabolites associated with cancer
I am researching how people's perception changes based on alpha waves through EEG and eye-tracking, and am investigating how perceptual processing has an impact on emotion recognition skills.
At the Pourmand Lab, our research centers on creating innovative technologies that advance the fields of biosensors and biotechnology. Our current work includes developing nanopipette-based biosensors for real-time, single-cell detection, as well as disposable biosensors designed for point-of-care diagnostics.
I am interested in pathogenesis and host-pathogen interactions.
Investigating and aiming to better understand how MAPK activity regulates chromatin accessibility in ESCs (embryonic stem cells).
I am researching expression and regulation of the Type III Secretion System (T3SS) in Gram-negative bacteria, such as Yersinia, that assists in bacterial virulence. We hope to develop an antibiotic that acts as a T3SS inhibitor.
As a part of the Fredston Lab, I compare statistical and mechanistic models to improve the forecast of Pacific rockfish distributions in California, aiming to enhance fisheries management under changing climate conditions.
I have been working in the Hartzog lab where we are assaying Wolbachia (an endosymbiotic bacterium) genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast) to better understand its manipulation of host reproductive behavior and endosymbiotic interactions as a whole.
I am studying the evolution of venom in lionfish.
I'm researching ways to enhance heavily doped bismuth ferrite for more effective water splitting, aiming to develop a cleaner and efficient method for hydrogen production using sunlight.
Researching how proteases in the lung drive the progression of severe respiratory viral infections
Elucidating the role of ROBO4 in breast cancer tumor growth and metastasis
I am researching the bioavailability of marine particulate iron (pFe) on Antarctic phytoplankton in the Southern Ocean, which plays a significant role in the global carbon cycle. My work currently involves iron-limiting lab cultures, and, later on, conducting particle addition experiments to the limited cultures.
My research focuses on creating immiscible Ruthenium Copper alloy nanoparticles with good electrochemical activity for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER).
Developing and implementing tests for the HDLAgent, focusing on creating unit tests for the new API interface and setting up a framework for regression tests.
