Undergraduate Teaching & Mentoring
Provided supervision and training to over 20 undergraduate students in the areas of biosensor fabrication, immunoassay development, liquid automation workflows, and clinical sample processing.
Offered tailored guidance on experimental design, data analysis, scientific communication, and poster preparation.
Many mentees were inspired and guided to embark on enduring careers in biomedical research, leading them to enroll in graduate studies and research assistant roles in related fields.
Guided students in conducting literature reviews, developing analytical thinking, enhancing problem-solving skills, and designing experiments, thereby fostering a robust foundation in scientific reasoning and critical inquiry.
Guided mentees in showcasing their research at institutional symposia and undergraduate research conferences, as well as in formulating successful applications for graduate and medical school programs.
I offered guidance for graduate and medical school applications, leading to successful admissions into esteemed programs such as the Goldwater Scholarship, the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, and the Metrohm Young Chemist Award.
