  Designed and developed novel cell culture platforms for the purpose of optimizing biomass and ethanol productivity of both mesophilic and thermophilic cyanobacteria. Used Design-Expert 7 to design and execute fractional factorial and central composite design experiments to optimize thermophilic cyanobacteria media. Analyzed the biocompatibility of potential sterilants and materials for photobioreactor construction. Conducted and maintained experiments from well plate to outdoor pilot… Show more Designed and developed novel cell culture platforms for the purpose of optimizing biomass and ethanol productivity of both mesophilic and thermophilic cyanobacteria.

• Research Assistant

  • Jan 2010 - Jul 2010

  Developed and tested several methods for the isolation of natural ocular matrix for the purpose of regeneration. Characterized the extracellular matrix using immunohistochemistry in order to study its basic structure. Explored the influence of different isolation, decellularization, and freeze-drying techniques on the extracellular matrix. Imaged self-emulsifying drug delivery systems using fluorescence microscopy and multiple particle tracking techniques to test their stability in a… Show more Developed and tested several methods for the isolation of natural ocular matrix for the purpose of regeneration.
