Please briefly describe any previous laboratory experience
Worked in Prof. Ian Hunter's bio-instrumentation lab for the summer of 2009 designing mechanical experiments using SolidWorks, worked in the 20.309 lab for the summer of 2010 designing, testing, optimizing, and writing software for the ThorLabs optical trapping kit, and have been working in the Ribbeck lab since the start of the summer of 2011 characterizing and building protein microfilms. I have experience with SolidWorks, Labview, Matlab (lots and lots of Matlab >.>) as well as instruments including a plate reader, a confocal microscope, QCM-D, and an optical trap.
Anything else you would like us to know?
I love working in a lab especially with people interested in the same types of things that I am. I'm thrilled to help in any circumstance where it is needed!
Also, team pink is awesome. That is all ^-^
