Last summer, I worked as an intern at MED Institute, Inc. in West Lafayette, IN. They serve as the research division for COOK Group. My official title was Product Discovery Intern, and I worked on the chemistry team. There were two projects on which I worked:. The first project was to design a polymer coating for the Bakri balloon that could hold a drug. The Bakri balloon is a balloon catheter that is used to stop post-partum hemmorhaging. The second project was to develop a way to stabilize another drug that oxidizes easily in atmospheric conditions and attach this drug to a stent graft.

Research Assistance for Professor Finley:

I work for a physics professor and write code that analyzes the gamma rays coming into the atmosphere.  I also analyze simulations from a new visible light telescope that is being constructed, the LSST.  I'm a very well respected programmer within the lab group.  Both of these have given me a strong background in scientific computing.

As an engineering intern I was responsible for site management on local road rehabilitation projects.  I managed survey teams and used elevation analysis to base recommendations for the removal and replacement of city roads.  I was responsible for reading and analyzing proposed plans and layouts of roads.  I supervised construction crews on multiple construction sites.  And I assisted new interns with their individual work in the field.

I worked for Frito Lay. I constructed and packed boxes of product, conducted quality checks, and maintained a clean and safe work area.

I have completed undergraduate lab work in successful gene cloning and cell culture at Purdue University of RNAi, GSK-3, and P-29.  The research performed was integral in futhering the research of the group concerning metabolism and cancer pathways and causes within the human body and provided background in the areas needed for the job for which I am applying.
