In my research, we utilize probability distribution and statistical analysis to find the probability of cells per micro-fluidic droplet in a droplet generation system where cells are encapsulated. There are many biological, mathematical, and physical aspects of the research, however my main focus is the statistical and mathematical portion that combines the biological aspects and physical parameters and explains the probabilities of the randomness associated with droplet generation systems. None other than the UROP colloquium and my UROP research, however I look forward to expanding my research endeavors! How do you hope to impact your students as a UROP Leader? As a UROP Leader, I hope to impact my students tremendously in various ways. I would like to encourage them to branch out of their comfort zones and reach out to the research community, and mentors on campus. I want my students to be able to find their research and become passionate with their contributions. At the same time, I want my students to find comfort in our classroom environment as a guide outside their academic lives. I want to impact the stigma my students may have on the classroom setting and the difficulties of research. As a UROP leader, I hope to pave the way of a nice open environment for my students that encourages them to feed their research passions. Outside of school and UROP, I have many things that I love to do. I love to read, go to the beach, and hangout with my friends. I am also a really big foodie, so I always love reading new recipes and finding new restaurants wherever I am.

In our lab, we are fortunate enough to utilize the novel microdialysis testing procedure, something that is rather rare in labs across the country. From our pilot data, we have seen a correlation between creatine supplementation and improved microvascular blood flow, as well as blood sugar stability following a high-sugar meal. How do you hope to impact your students as a UROP Leader? I hope to guide students through this introduction to their undergraduate research career, as it can be a daunting task where many may be asking themselves, 'where do I start?'. Additionally, I hope to serve as an older, more experienced mentor for my younger students regarding life at FSU in general, whether it pertains to classes, campus recreation, clubs, etc. In Tallahassee during the school year, I am involved with Greek Life and really enjoy the intramural sports FSU has to offer. When back home in Tampa, I enjoy being outdoors and near the ocean, especially to go fishing. headshot.jpg 2023 Yes https://cre.fsu.edu/urop-leader-information-submission?element_parents=elements/headshot&ajax_form=1&_wrapper_format=drupal_ajax&token=F58swC4uat_bXR1UJdlnkA43HqbK6No_fflSSGcoBjg 2023-2024

We are attempting to build a database to attach typologies to the offenders, as well as to mine as much information about them as possible. The typologies we use are retaliatory, defensive, mission, and thrill-seeking. The database has a set of holistic factors such as offender background, motivation, crime, victim background, location, etc. We use these pieces of information to determine what typology category the offender fits under. How do you hope to impact your students as a UROP Leader? I hope that as a UROP leader, I can impact students in a positive way. I would love to inspire them not only in their field of study, but to push their boundaries so that they explore new academic fields. I want them to feel comfortable with research, mentor relationships, public speaking, and research dissemination.

I am examining the historical basis for the use of the arts in social justice movements and exploring how this might have shifted or evolved in contemporary discourse. During my freshman year, I researched U.S. and Japanese relations post-World War II as portrayed through film under the supervision of Dr. Christina Owens. I had a specific focus on the portrayal of the American ninja and the archetype’s connections to white saviorism, cultural appropriation, and a variety of other factors that may have influenced the relationship between the aforementioned countries. How do you hope to impact your students as a UROP Leader? I hope to impact my students as a UROP Leader by leaving them with one new curiosity they hadn’t entered class with. Research is all about finding intersections and commonalities between your passions and interests, and if students leave my class with one new question or curiosity they didn’t enter with (just as I left UROP with a newfound interest in film) then I’ll feel fulfilled in my position. In my spare time, I enjoy playing guitar, reading, and going to the gym. I serve on the executive boards for the American Student Union and South Asian Student Association and would highly recommend students get involved in those spaces if they are interested! 2028A785-B95C-46D1-89CE-68798675C132.jpeg 2023 Yes https://cre.fsu.edu/urop-leader-information-submission?element_parents=elements/headshot&ajax_form=1&_wrapper_format=drupal_ajax&token=_huDatcVOvhTtf12oActdOI7Tiit8FN0lUw8uwRQbWU 2023-2024

My work focused on the Japanese immigrant experience in the US, particularly during World War II and the internment camps. I am also part of the Rosenstrasse Foundation on campus where we are creating a larger database of acts of civil courage under the Nazi regime across Germany and occupied territories with an emphasis on the Rosenstrasse Protests. How has UROP impacted your time at FSU? UROP taught me integral research skills for my field of study, including how to use more specialized sources like national and state databases. Even more than that it gave me the confidence to start my own independent research by giving me a place to start and contacts within the department to guide me. It also helped me narrow down what I was (and was not) interested in, allowing emt o choose a topic that I would find rewarding instead of grueling. I love to read, write, crochet, and play guitar.
