• Graduate Teaching Assistant

  • Mar 2022 - Present

  Working as a teaching assistant for class "BE/EE/MedE 189b: Design and Construction of Biodevices" taught by Prof. Changhuei Yang. Assisting students to program in Python and Arduino, construct circuits on breadboards and Arduino, develop Bokeh-based UIs for their circuits, and design and build a spectrophotometer and pulse oximeter with Arduinos.

• Graduate Student

  • Sep 2020 - Present

  Leading research in developing the open-source fraction collector, colosseum. Currently conducting a survey-based study on commercial saliva collection devices while developing a novel saliva collection device.

• Graduate Teaching Assistant

  • Sep 2020 - Dec 2020

  Worked as teaching assistant for class "BE/EE/MedE 189a: Design and Construction of Bioinstruments" taught remotely by Prof. Justin Bois at Caltech. Guided students through programming in Python and Arduino, wiring circuits with breadboards, building Bokeh-based UIs for their circuits, and designing and constructing a pulse oximeter and a spectrophotometer with Arduino. In preparation for the class, I translated the previously-LabVIEW-based class material into Arduino to enable remote learning, as LabVIEW circuits require expensive and immobile custom circuitboards.
