- Clearly document experimental procedures, findings, and their significance. Demonstrate understanding of scientific concepts and principles behind the data. Communicate how and why specific results were obtained and their impact on the experiment.
I have received a bachelor's degree in microbiology (2014) and a PhD degree in molecular immunology (2021). I also worked at Yale University as a postdoctoral associate for a year (2022). I have also served as a teaching assistant and lecturer in introductory biology and advanced biochemistry lecture. I have also tutored high school and AP biology for 10 years.
