During my tenure as a lab assistant at NC State, I engaged in diverse projects, each offering unique learning experiences and contributions.
One of my significant contributions involved collaborating closely with a PhD student on a study examining microfiber shedding over successive wash cycles. Our investigation encompassed an extensive analysis of particle emission from various fabrics, including cotton, polyester, poly-cotton blends, among others. Through systematic experimentation and meticulous data collection, we aimed to gain deeper insights into the shedding behavior and characteristics of different textile materials.
Additionally, I collaborated on a USDA-funded project aimed at developing an educational experiment for high school students. This project focused on investigating algae growth under varying conditions, such as different light levels, nutrient compositions, and environmental factors. Our goal was to create an engaging and informative experiment that high school students could easily conduct in their classrooms, providing them with hands-on experience in scientific inquiry and algae cultivation.
