  • Dec 2019 - Mar 2021

  As a postdoc for the UCSF/SFSU NSF Center for Cellular Construction, I constructed a fast ns time-resolved optical apparatus (i.e. transient absorption, linear/circular dichroism) for analysis of protein folding dynamics, rotational diffusion, and cell microviscosity. In addition, I mentored undergraduate and master students, and facilitated their learning+research projects.

  • Sep 2017 - May 2018

  Instructor for Analytical Chemistry. In addition to teaching and organizing the course, I helped develop laboratory modules on quantitative chemical analysis of sea water. The topics covered included data analysis, experimental error, calibration methods, ion-selective electrodes, and molecular spectroscopy.

• Doctoral Researcher

  • Jan 2011 - Sep 2017

  PhD Advisor Prof Judy Kim. My dissertation work focused on understanding biochemistry in complex environments. I studied electron transfer through protein and the assembly of protein into synthetic bilayers. My approach to these problems involved studying protein dynamics and short-lived species using optical techniques, such as absorption, fluorescence, and Raman.
