During the Spring semester of 2021, I conducted research under Dr. Roger Ruan at the Center for Biorefining at the University of Minnesota. I worked to improve the conversion rate of the bacteria strain Clostridium Ljungdahlii which converts carbon monoxide and hydrogen gases to acetic acid through its metabolic processes.

This is a project that is past the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) stage that I've been working on since last year with a small group of students. In the second half I became one of the directors of the project. The purpose of this app is to take our college's confusing underground tunnel system and give students the ability to navigate them.

This was developed using React Native and tested with Expo. A mix of css and javascript is used.

While I attended Blaine high school in Blaine, MN, I was a student of their magnet program: Center for Engineering, Math, and Science (CEMS). Throughout my four years, my schedule consisted of a variety of science and engineering classes created by Project Lead the Way. A couple of my favorite topics were circuits and plasmid manipulation.

For my final year along with my CEMS peers, I worked in a group of 5 to develop a prototype for a product that would solve a problem. We picked bike theft, and constructed a design and prototype of a bike locker which secured the front wheel of the bike locked inside.

I personally worked with the Raspberry Pi which controlled the motors. I used BlueJ to develop in Java.
