### Research Assistant @ Rutgers Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology
Jan 2014 – Jan 2014
I was given an ARESTY Byrne summer grant to help Professor Sungchul Ji in his work on biological modeling in protein folding and decision times with several grad students.
I sought to find if the graphs related to these biological functions displayed wave properties, by fitting the generalized Planck curve to their distributions and comparing that with other distributions originally used to fit the data, like the lognormal, or ex-gaussian, using Excel. Another task I was given was to model a much-idealized version of protein folding with Matlab.
	 I was also given the opportunity to read and discuss other research papers with Professor Sungchul Ji, so that I may thoroughly understand the research that led to these models. Topics that I explored included the drift diffusion model, the graphical analysis of gene families and the relation to their amino acid chain length distributions and the properties of protein folding.

### IT Intern @ Central Jersey Blood Center
Jan 2013 – Jan 2013
Using an existing form as an example, I was able to do the following, without having any previous programming experience:
I designed and developed several windows form applications, which were used for entering large amounts of statistical data.
In order to do this, I had to make the forms and connect them to back end stored procedures, using VB.NET and SQL Server.
I then also designed and developed entry data forms for multiple users in different company departments, also using VB.NET and SQL Server.
I also created user interfaces for numbers of survey reports using Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 for SSRS. 
I also did some data entry that was necessary for the company.
