I developed classification models that are part of a series of models to be used in ATUSA to improve the automated localization of lesions in 3D breast ultrasound scans as well as improve on the reproducibility of scans across different sessions for purposes of tracking changes across time. I manually annotated patient scans for regions of interest and trained models on these annotations. I evaluated and refined models to improve their accuracy and precision. ### Fellow of the National Cancer Institute Research Internship Program @ The National Institutes of Health Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Bethesda, Maryland In Dr. Ho's laboratory in the Lab of Molecular Biology at the National Cancer Institute, I produced and studied second generation hYP7 CAR T-cells from four hepatocellular carcinoma patient donors from the NIH Clinical Center. Additionally, I compared 2nd and 3rd generation hYP7 and HN3 CAR T-cells to determine their cytotoxicity. I presented this project at the 2019 NIH Summer Poster Day Session. ### SmartPantry App User-Interface Developer @ TreeHacks Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Stanford, California I was invited to participate in TreeHacks, a selective event for students to design a project for businesses. I formed a team with participants from three other colleges at the hackathon and we successfully prototyped within 36 hours. From my experiences with food expirations, I contributed to my project's idea of creating an app to combat food waste by expiration date notification through AI software. I developed the user interface using Balsamiq Cloud, marketed the project through a video advertisement made in IMovie, and designed the logo and other features with Canva. I attended workshops to learn skills in prototyping with AI and the storytelling animation process in VR. Then at the design exposition, my team and I successfully ran demos of our app to company representatives. We had received feedback from representatives of IBM, Disney, and Facebook who had indicated that they would love to use our app, due to their own experiences in dealing with food expiration, their desire for a better organization mechanism, and their initiative to promote sustainability. ### Pre-Engineering Program Participant @ UC Berkeley College of Engineering Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 | Berkeley I was selected to participate in this 57-student pre-engineering program. During this program, I learned to use Arduino and a Type-A 3D Printer. I was able to later use Arduino for the concluding design competition of the summer program. After three weeks of learning Arduino, I worked with my team of six through the SPRINT prototyping process to rapidly choose a problem and to program a bicycle lock mechanism for the design competition. I engineered a container using OnShape that would enhance the sound of the bicycle alarm through acoustical shapes. However, the 3D printer shutdown before the container finished printing and the container was unable to print before the project competition. To fix this issue, I used a metallic water bottle to enhance the noise of the alarm instead, which worked out well considering the small size of the alarm. I was also in charge of marketing the product to the judges by designing a video demonstration of the product. I chose to create a comedic demonstration of the project. Company representatives and many of my peers raved about the video and made special remarks about it when mentioning the project as the one with the humorous video. As a result of our group effort, my team and I were rewarded with three out of the five awards available at the design competition. We had won Best Presentation, Best Overall Project, and Best Motivation (for addressing a problem that would have a large impact in Berkeley). I had a great time learning with my peers to make an effective team that accomplished so much in a manner of weeks. It was nice to listen to feedback from within our group and apply it to ultimately achieve the final winning project. ### Owner @ Online Estates Sale Business Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 | Miami Beach During the summer, I created an online business. I developed a webpage, created advertisements, and sold used-goods to customers. I developed my skills in negotiation and marketing through this experience. ### Volunteer @ Habitat for Humanity - DeKalb, Inc. Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 | Greater Atlanta Area I used a power drill, scaffolded, used a miter saw, and other tools to build a patio deck from scratch for a veteran's family. It was nice to learn to use many wood workshop tools and to create concrete from scratch to cement the wooden deck into place. I was able to build a community with the other volunteers where we shared a living space and worked diligently throughout the day. It was rewarding to be able to provide a family with a nice communal gathering space for them to better enjoy the outdoors. ### Intern @ NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Jan 2017 – Jan 2017 | Greenbelt, Maryland I used SolidWorks and 2D Working Model to build a dynamic model for the Large UV Optical Infrared Surveyor (LUVOIR). I worked alongside NASA engineers to gain more knowledge on the LUVOIR through daily group discussions. I collaborated with three other interns to determine how to correct the launch mechanism of a part on the LUVOIR to optimize the surveyor's performance. I developed a computerized 2D working model to demonstrate the surveyor's mechanism. My engineering mentor and I discussed results to determine the feasibility of the correction. After accounting for changes to the design as discussed in group meetings and taking note of any comments from my mentor, I was able to make a model that could be used to help account for engineering challenges associated with the spacecraft. ### DC Electrical Vehicle Engineer and Driver @ DC Electrical Vehicle Grand Prix Jan 2017 – Jan 2017 | Washington D.C. Metro Area I built a car that runs on a rechargeable battery and races at a speed of 30 mph. The car was ready to race after making sure the wheels were properly aligned and ensuring the wires would not deteriorate. I had to solder the wires on the vehicle and readjust brakes when I assessed that the car was not functioning properly. ## Education ### Bioengineering in with a focus on Electrical Engineering and Computer Science UC Berkeley College of Engineering ### Bioengineering in with a focus on Electrical Engineering and Computer Science University of California, Berkeley ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/jessicamalow --- Source: https://flows.cv/jessicamalow JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/jessicamalow/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-29
