  San Diego, California, United States I researched single-layer and multi-layer graphene cell toxicity and biocompatibility, formalizing cheap methods to separate the sacrificial metals beneath the graphene using chemicals or methods that would not leave harmful material behind. I would then test the graphene or graphene oxide conductivity through multi-probe apparatuses.
