Undergraduate Research Assistant -Dr. Liang Dong
Spring of 2017 I worked as a undergraduate research assistant for Dr. Liang Dong. My role was assisting graduate researchers in the construction and implementation of research specific prototypes. I primarily worked on a soil nitrate sensing system which involved a water extraction tool to analyze the nitrate ion. I contributed to design choices and influenced revision improvements for how the system was laid out. This opportunity gave me insight to the research side of academics as well as fostering interest for future endeavors.

Independent Research -Dr. Randall Geiger
Spring 2017 through the present I have been working on independent research under Dr. Randall Geiger. The project I worked on was to characterize the dielectric properties of a new material brought forth from the agricultural and bio-systems engineering (ABE) department. After discovering this material had potential use for a hydroscopic moisture sensor my research shifted to developing this material into a low cost biodegradable (lasting +10 months) sensor. I am currently working on the second revision of this sensor. I work closely with the (ABE) department on material revisions that can be made and have attended meetings to present my findings to the VP of R&D at APC Inc. for a potential marketable use of his companies developed material.
