Biography

I am a fourth year Biological Sciences major interested in systems and quantitative biology. In the future, I plan to apply computational approaches to genetics and cancer research. 

Research Area

I am currently assisting Caroline Ackley on running gravitaxis assays and understanding the relationship between genetics and C. elegans’ ability to perceive gravity. As part of the gravitaxis project, I have also worked on data visualization in R. This past summer, I collaborated with Ethan Ewe and Caroline to research and present on how atmospheric pressure may play a role in C. elegans migration behavior for the Academic Research Consortium.
