Skills

Projects

Advanced Statistical Analysis of Neuronal Passive Membrane Properties

Spearheaded a high-impact neuroscientific research project, employing advanced computational techniques to analyze dorsal horn neuron properties. Utilizing Clampfit for intricate analysis of raw voltage-clamp recordings and combining R and Python for robust statistical and data analysis.

A Time-course Analysis of AAV9-GFP Neuronal Tract-Tracing Efficacy in Mice

In this study, I analyzed the temporal dynamics of AAV9-GFP in neuronal tract tracing within the RVM region of mice brains. Our aim was to understand how marker intensity changes over time, informing optimal usage parameters for gene therapy and neuroscientific research.

Decoding RVM-Spinal Cord Interactions in Chronic Pain through Statistical Analysis

In this project, my aim was to gain insights into chronic pain mechanisms by investigating the impact of various optogenetic stimulations (control, laser, monochromator) on spinal cord neurons within the RVM region. I employed one-way ANOVA to reveal pivotal mechanisms underlying this phenomenon.

Eastern Idaho Workforce Insights Dashboard: Navigating STEM Education and Job Skills Growth

Created a user-friendly Tableau Dashboard by web scraping and consolidating data from 8 web sources. The dashboard provides essential insights into job skills growth and education requirements in Eastern Idaho (2018-2029), aiding decision-makers in STEM-focused investment and planning.

Optimizing Anesthesia Dosage in Animal Research: Mitigating Risks and Ensuring Welfare

In this project, I optimized anesthesia dosages for research animals using data collected during my internship at Bogomoletz Institute Of Physiology on adult mice. My work, published in September 2020, ensures animal welfare and precision in experimentation.

Predicting Patient No-Show: Data-Driven Approach to Enhance Healthcare Efficiency

This project addresses the challenge of patient no-shows at medical appointments, which impacts resource efficiency and care quality. By analyzing medical appointment data and employing logistic regression, I developed a model with an 80.2% accuracy rate.
