My Work
My Work
I worked with Dr. Nucharin Songsasen and Dr. Jennifer Nagashima to develop an air-liquid microfluidic interface to culture canine ovarian follicles to aid endangered species. We hope this technology can allow us to culture ovarian tissue from endangered canines, maturing oocytes that can lead to pups being born!
I used Autodesk technologies like Fusion 360 and Inventor to design the microfluidic interface and ran Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations with OpenFOAM and Autodesk CFD. I later presented our work at the Smithsonian Emerging Scientist Symposium, which you can check out below.
Additionally, I worked on developing the mobile application Cell DB, to help reproductive biologists at the Smithsonian collect ovarian follicle data for their experiments in the lab or in the field. Please check out the Cell DB page for more details!
Skills: SQL · Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) · Computer-Aided Design (CAD) · Flutter · Microfluidics · Cell Culture
