As an I-CUREUS participant , I provided technical support for existing projects within the Solar Energy Systems Laboratory (SESL) and conducted my own research for an upcoming project on compact thermal energy storage. My project support included assisting my colleagues in the SESL with setting up apparatus used for the experimentation components... More
My role as an I-CUREUS participant involved many iterations of the design process, which is essential in engineering. As a student of , I couldn’t imagine a more engaging and applicable opportunity than being involved in solar energy research, which is exactly what my I-CUREUS experience entailed. This program allowed me to work under... More
My role as an ICUREUS participant was to perform statistical analysis and automate instruments. I developed multiple programs in R, MATLAB, and LabVIEW to analyze data that we obtained with an in-house microscope. As a result, a large portion of our data analysis steps have been streamlined. My ICUREUS project directly relates to the... More

My role as an I-CUREUS participant was to develop a custom built Raman microscope. Our application to biological samples with thicknesses of a few microns causes major problems for expensive commercial systems. The system we constructed has achieved a better application specific performance, at a fraction of the cost. The task of building a... More
