Professional Experience
Graduate Research Assistant CNSE, SUNY Albany | SUNY Poly Fall 2010-Present
 Multidisciplinary research focusing on characterization and utilization of biological nanomachines, such as molecular
motors and dynamic microtubule architectures that are able to self-assemble, error-correct, and self-repair to further the
understanding of biological processes as well as future nano/micro manufacturing systems.
 Developed expertise in experimental design, surface functionalization, biochemical purification, liquid chromatography,
in vivo and in vitro systems, molecular biology, yeast genetics and cloning, site directed mutagenesis, cell culture
including human stem cells, immunocytology, and epifluorescence microscopy.
 Mentored undergraduates and high school students, and trained colleagues in lab techniques.
Senior Project SUNY Alfred Fall 2009-Spring 2010
 Design project requiring the 3D modeling of complex base triangles that assemble into a spherical truncated icosahedron,
allowing for structural analysis and fabrication of parts by 3D printing/rapid prototyping to generate a working model.
 Developed expertise in 2D & 3D CADD modeling, rapid prototyping, finite element analysis, product design, and team
management.
Engineering Intern Albany International, Homer, New York Summer 2007, 2008
 Engineering design using CADD for mezzanine structure, floor plans, and factory parts. Included 6-Sigma product
assessment and workflow analysis using lean manufacturing principles and tools for implementing Visual Factory, 5S
Shadow Boards, and Inventory Control. Developed construction quotes for future projects.
