I was tasked to research about herniated discs: what they are and their current solutions. Through my research, I developed skills on how to read research papers. I concluded my paper with a recommendation on an up-and-coming solution that I found to be promising in the future to treat herniated discs.

Through this research program, I learned how to read and collect information from research papers and develop an abstract. I chose the topic of 3D bioprinting and CRISPR gene editing as I wanted to gain a background in medical engineering to pursue my future career as a biomedical engineer. 

My team was tasked to create a project represented the random walks of molecules after an exterior influence. We were given the code to model a molecular ratchet with a kick (seen on page 10 of document) and were tasked to represent it in another way. We modified the code to show the averages of these random walks in a histogram. Skills used in this project were coding in python using the numpy and mathplot libraries.
