Experience

Research Assistant

Assistant at the Cavanagh-Tse joint lab investigating the nature of consciousness through visual stimulus.

Thus far, I have been tasked with the coding of, and implementation of pupilatory interpolation algorithms in MATLAB and Python. More generally, I have worked in Python and MATLAB to code help code Psychophysics experiments and EEG/MRI data analysis algorithms. By viewing the results of these experiments, we can better understand the nature and location of consciousness in the brain.

Tools Utilized:

PsychoPy, Python, Numpy, Matlab, Microsoft Excel

Bioinformatics and Clinical Health Intern

Working under the guidance of Dr. Eden and Dr. Nelson, as well as the OHSU Department of Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology, I leveraged FHIR tools to populate MammoScreen (a breast cancer screening tool) with critical patient data.

Over a period of 10 weeks, I had the privilege of taking a project feature from conception to completion. Using my knowledge of data structures, and general familiarity with JavaScript, I was able to create an information retrieval and storage tool, allowing MammoScreen to pull and push relevant patient data. Specifically, I was able to use SMART on FHIR, a tool created by the Boston Children's Hospital, to interact with a Cerner EHR platform.

Tools Utilized:

SMART on FHIR, FHIR v4.0.1, Javascript, HTML, CSS, Git, Github

FEMA Region 10 Youth Representative

As a council member on the FEMA Region 10 Youth Preparedness Council, I worked to create innovative solutions to preparedness issues: connecting the old to the young, the state to the local, and private industries to public services.

During my tenure, I was granted the privilege of speaking on Oregon Public Broadcasting about disaster preparedness and creating a culture of preparedness. I was able to work with the Red Cross, Meals on Wheels, and FEMA Region 10 to create a way to distribute preparedness products to senior citizens.

Tools Utilized:

Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Google Documents
