  - Collaborated with a PhD candidate to create a structural illustration of the cellular pathways inside the bacteria Rhizobium leguminosarum for a dissertation - Created a 2D animation depicting a putative intracellular pathway in Rhizobium leguminosarum for a dissertation defense - Used bioinformatics to find homologs of the cmdA-D operon across the Domain Bacteria. Genetic relationships were assessed by constructing phylogenetic trees, then aligning gene maps to reconstruct the evolution of operon architecture - Researched and genetically annotated plasmids from enriched bacterial cultures from a wastewater treatment plant Show less
