I used bio-mimicry material that imitates gecko skin to design a mechanical gripping device that moves components of the reflector during assembly in space.... Was accepted to the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab Experiences in Research paid internship after a competitive application process; there he worked with one other student and two mentors, Dr. Peter Ercius, staff scientist, and postdoc, Dr. Alex Lin from the National Center for Electron Microscopy in the Molecular Foundry; project focused on developing an application that allows non-coding scientists to access and analyze electron microscopy images stored in datasets within complex hierarchical file formats (Berkeley formatted .emd files); used Python in JupyterLab along with the Voila framework to develop the user interface, which is currently being used in the lab and around the world, allowing scientists throughout the globe to access the data without knowing the proper way to iterate through the images and metadata through programming.
