Worked in Typescript with react, next.js, express, and knex to develop and enhance onePager tool functionality. ### Startup Accelerator Participant @ AquaCerta Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 | Princeton, New Jersey AquaCerta provides a better solution to purifying water contaminated by heavy metals. There is a strong need for a reliable solution to the universal problem of pollution generated by industrial activities, such as mining. Utilizing a targeted approach, AquaCerta seeks to discover communities affected by heavy metals contamination, explore distribution options for these areas, and get our product out to those who need it most. AquaCerta’s versatile and portable water filter is created to aggressively target heavy metal contaminants to ensure that no one has to drink from polluted water sources again. This startup was developed in Princeton Summer Accelerator Program. ### Research Intern @ Weill Cornell Medicine Jan 2017 – Jan 2017 | Manhattan Worked on a statistical analysis research project using R under the mentorship of Dr. Richard Isaacson and Dr. Peter Yan to identify statistical patterns in Alzheimer's Disease development. ### Research Intern @ The Feinstein Institute Jan 2016 – Jan 2016 | New York Worked on a project ("Identification of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms for Use as Biomarkers for Early Onset Breast Cancer") which included sequencing blood samples in order to gain DNA and biomarker insights into the genetic causes of early onset breast cancer while under the mentorship of Dr. Annette Lee. ## Education ### BSE in Electrical and Computer Engineering Princeton University Jan 2018 – Jan 2022 ### Manhasset High School Jan 2014 – Jan 2018 ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/ryan-thorpe --- Source: https://flows.cv/ryanthorpe JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/ryanthorpe/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-22
