Work History

Undergraduate Research Assistant (First Author)

Lichter Research Group - Northwestern University
Evanston, Illinois
11.2018 - 10.2020

· Co-authored a polymer physics research paper titled ‘Homopolymers Crumple Oddly’, currently under review, in the field of molecular dynamics

· Discovered folding pathways and energetic minimum shape conformations using past paper metrics

· Created a new metric termed ‘segment size’, using dihedral angles, revealing a statistically unfavorable behavior, which had yet to be discovered

· Analyzed and post-processed coordinate data by creating novel and preexisting metrics to grasp polymer crumpling mechanisms

· Identified changes in the initial shape and patterns of dihedral angles, using NAMD and VMD, by simulating a variety of different sized carbon polymer rings at different temperatures

· Utilized advanced mathematics and physics modelling methods (fourier transforms, inertia tensors, asphericity metrics, gyration tensors etc.) to gain insights into the dynamics and nature of the polymer ring, using Matlab

· Responsible for developing, presenting and updating key findings to the research team on a weekly basis (team of 3)

Data Analytics Intern

MRM//McCANN
Dubai, UAE
07.2018 - 09.2018

· Analyzed market trends over the last three years for General Motors’ various brands, using excel to display and asses the impacts of retention rates and sales on client performance

· Identified seasonal market fluctuations in sales and servicing to improve retention rates and optimize revenue in off seasons

· Designed a visual and interactive data sheet, using Tableau to display service and sales KPI’s and BDC metrics used for GM to identify weaknesses in dealer sales and servicing
