Robotics
I’ve loved science since I was a child, and I joined a robotics team at age 11. I was drawn to the challenge of identifying a problem and working with a team to solve it, and I found that FTC was the best platform to develop those skills. On the team, I’ve served as both a programmer and an outreach lead.

iGEM
My research experience throughout high school has focused on vision impairment and plastic pollution, two issues whose urgency and global impact are immense. Both of my researches are done in the iGEM competition, which respectively won a silver medal and a gold medal. In the most recent project that earn a gold metal, as a team, we successfully introduced a synthetic β-carotene biosynthetic pathway into Saccharomyces cerevisiae with CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing to enable the de novo synthesis of β-carotene. On the wet-lab side, I worked with our de novo β-carotene strains to generate the core performance data. On the dry-lab side, I led the development of our smart camera-based monitoring system.
