Research Projects
I started engaging in research my first year at the University of Pittsburgh. I was fortunate to find my fit at the Thathiah Lab early in my research career and the mentorship that I have received so far at the lab inspired me to pursue a career in academia. After my undergraduate studies, I hope to pursue a Ph.D. in Neuroscience in order to apply the techniques I have grown proficient in while adding to my repository of research skills. Listed below are some of the research projects I worked on and the skills I have acquired from them
Note: All schemes were created with BioRender.
