Other Projects

• During my freshman year, I worked in a synthetic biology lab, where we worked to use CRISPR and molecular titration techniques to demonstrate ultrasensitive responses in E.coli cells as a proof-of-concept for building biological circuits to perform logical operations. I also designed some 3D-printed lab equipment to help make biology lab equipment more affordable/accessible, and co-designed and taught the first ever house course on synthetic biology at Duke! Our team won a gold medal at the International Genetically Engineered Machine Competition! You can learn more about our project here!
• During my undergrad, I had the opportunity to work on a variety of fun projects. A couple of notable examples: For an advanced linear algebra course, I wrote a survey on Finite Coxeter Groups. For a software design course, I led a group of ten students to implement a video game authoring environment.
• In my free time, I enjoy discovering new music. I’ve written an app to send Slack messages whenever Pitchfork announces best new music, available here. I also wrote an app that logs my Spotify listening history and plots graphs of artist relationships.
• During the summer of 2020, I modified my Rancilio Silvia espresso machine to (i) have automatic temperature control, (ii) to turn on and off on a schedule, and (iii) to be controlled via a website and Slack. Surprisingly, it still works! You can find my code here.
