Graduate Research Assistant

I majored in physics as an undergrad at Oregon State University. While there, I got involved in SPS as Vice President and also served as the president of Sigma Pi Sigma. I am now attending graduate school at Princeton University in the Quantitative and Computational Biology program. My research involves the study of cytoskeletal and periskeletal proteins in bacteria. I was recently selected as an NSF graduate fellow which will fund the rest of my graduate school career.

Job description: 

As a graduate student, my job is mostly to do my independent research. I am in an experimental lab, so a lot of my day involves long hours in the lab doing experiments. I also write code to analyze my microscopy images or other experimental results.
