September 2024 - May 2025 Lore AIverse (see website on demo video) is a storytelling platform where kids take an audio recording of their toy play and transform it into a well-written story! With just a simple recording of their imaginative adventures, our AI assistant helps shape their play into structured, engaging narratives. ### Researcher @ Ti Lab @ UC Berkeley Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences (EECS) Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 | Berkeley, California, United States Conducted research into creating a nano-scale addressable silicon wafer chip with DNA origami ### Software Development Intern @ Danaher Corporation Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | Brea, California, United States ### Undergraduate Researcher @ Jadoo Technologies Inc. Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | Berkeley, California, United States Worked on the data analysis component of a website for a Covid-19 rapid test device. ### PainPoint Back-end Web Developer @ TreeHacks Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | Palo Alto, California, United States PainPoint is a web application that makes measuring pain more objective in order to help people get the right treatment options. It was inspired by the minority groups and women who are faced with discrimination when it comes to evaluating their pain levels. The web app was built with Dash. I implemented the database and user authentication using Firebase. The database contains data relating to how much pain someone experiences from particular injuries, which is then used to calculate an individual's percentile of pain tolerance in relation to an individual's age group, gender identity, and racial identity. ### National Cancer Institute Fellow @ The National Institutes of Health Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Bethesda, Maryland Working in the Lab of Pathology, I conducted research into the effects of CD47, a cell surface marker that interacts with Thrombospondin-1 and SIRPα to enable or inhibit a macrophage from engulfing a cell. CD47 antibodies are currently in their first clinical trials as an immunotherapy. ### Creative Designer @ Voyage Biomedical Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Berkeley, Califonia I designed a more effective, biodegradable esophageal stent to improve treatment options for patients with throat cancer. Specifically, I conducted research into materials for the stent and for a drug-eluting component of the stent. ### SmartPantry Front End Developer and Marketer @ TreeHacks Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | San Francisco Bay Area During TreeHacks, I was able to meet several different college students for the first time to form a team with four other students, including a graduate student. From there, we prototyped SmartPantry in 36 hours. SmartPantry is an app built with android-studio that tracks the expiration dates of foods for users with a QR scanner. Our concept was to remodel the current system of printed expiration dates by embedding expiration dates into the bar codes of products. After a customer checks out, a receipt containing a bar code with all the expiration date data is given so that the customer merely scans the receipt to start tracking their food. Customers have the option of choosing how often to be notified of their food's expiration date and are given suggested recipes to use food before it goes bad. In turn, food businesses can use the app to keep track of their products' expiration dates and decide to put expiring products on sale to reduce losses and maximize sales. Moreover, disaster relief institutions such as the Red Cross will be able to utilize our app to organize donations by expiration date and make sure expiring donations are used as soon as possible. Smart Pantry is projected to reduce food waste by over 70%. SmartPantry also contains a social media aspect. In the app, customers can submit their own recipes into contests and vote for their favorite recipes on the leaderboard. Companies can also feature their food products on the home page of the app or can sponsor contests that use their ingredients. During the project, I developed the user interface of the app with a carefully selected design by learning how to use Balsamiq Cloud and Canva. Moreover, I contributed to the marketing and ideation of the app by using iMovies to edit together a short commercial and by delving into new product angles. When pitching the product, I received positive responses from company representatives at Disney Tech, IBM, Wix, and Facebook. ### Participant @ UC Berkeley Pre-Engineering Program Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 | Berkeley, CA I was selected to be a part of a summer program consisting of 57 students. During the course of the program, I worked in a team of five students and used the SPRINT process to identify a need in the community and design a solution. In the end, I prototyped a smart watch device and app using Onshape, Type A 3D Printers, and arduino programing technology to promote sunscreen usage and reduce the risk of skin cancer among athletes. The project was dedicated to Berkeley athlete Joe Roth who passed away at the age of 21 from melanoma. For the presentation, I created and edited a promotional video of the product using iMovie. Finally, I pitched the product to company representatives from Microsoft, PG&E, Disney Imagineers, Intuit, Chevron, and General Motors. ### Owner @ Online Estate Sale Business Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 | Miami/Fort Lauderdale Area For my business, I created my own webpage, photographed products, managed staff, negotiated pricing, and sold used furniture and accessories. Placing the business online allowed me to reach a wider audience to increase the likelihood of items getting sold. ### Volunteer @ Habitat for Humanity - DeKalb, Inc. Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 | Atlanta Metropolitan Area During the week-long project, I worked in a team of 8 on two different houses. One house belonged to a veteran while the other belonged to Habitat for Humanity. For the veteran's house, I built a deck and made repairs to rotten wood through scaffolding and using power tools such as a miter saw and a power drill. For the house that Habitat for Humanity was selling to raise money for more projects, I painted, adjusted wood using a staple gun, and caulked on a scaffold. ### Intern @ NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Jan 2017 – Jan 2017 | Greenbelt, Maryland At Goddard, I worked on a project known as the LUVOIR. The LUVOIR is an idea for a space observatory that captures more light than the Hubble Telescope to allow for better observations of space. Working with the team of engineers, I created a dynamic model for the LUVOIR using Working Model 2D and SolidWorks. The dynamic model would be used to finalize the design of the LUVOIR. ### Team Leader and Racer @ DC Electric Vehicle Grand Prix Jan 2017 – Jan 2017 | Washington D.C. Metro Area I raced and built an electric car that reached speeds of 30 mph by soldering and adjusting wires, replacing the wheels, and correcting the brakes. ### Chapter President (2016); Chapter Treasurer (2015) @ Zonta International Jan 2014 – Jan 2016 | Miami/Fort Lauderdale Area I started Women’s Month at Immaculata La Salle High School and organized a Lotus House Supply Drive for abused women. ### Event Leader @ Relay For Life Jan 2016 – Jan 2016 | Miami/Fort Lauderdale Area I was part of a committee that put on an outdoor event where people could buy sweets, play games, and honor their loved ones who had passed away from some form of cancer. Lanterns were lit in dedication to loved ones and funds were donated to the American Cancer Society. During the fundraising event and in the months before it, I would sell custom-made stylus pens. I also built a photo booth that raised money for Relay for Life. ## Education ### Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science UC Berkeley Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences (EECS) Jan 2018 – Jan 2022 ### Bachelor's degree in Bioengineering UC Berkeley College of Engineering Jan 2018 – Jan 2022 ### University of California, Berkeley Jan 2018 – Jan 2022 ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/nicolemalow --- Source: https://flows.cv/nicolemalow JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/nicolemalow/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-22
