  mentoring_philosophy: 'As a mentor, my main goal is to create a safe and brave environment where my mentee feels motivated to take risks and make mistakes.  Ultimately, I believe to grow as a student and a researcher we must experience failure in order to learn.  As a graduate student, I am relatively new to the research mentor space.  So, I will be working, growing, and learning alongside my mentee.  We will be taking risks and learning together!  I hope that we will have a collaborative relationship where we can hold each other accountable to reach our goals.'

  overall_research_project_description: 'We will be studying the bacterial gradostat.  A gradostat is an interconnected system of devices where bacteria is continuously grown.  This tool is commonly used in biology labs to grow, harvest, and maintain a desired cell culture of bacteria.  Gradostat systems are also commonly used within biology as a “crude” model for microbial ecological systems where there may be competition between multiple bacteria populations.  One of the benefits of the gradostat is that one can model almost exactly what happens in the physical device using a system of mathematical equations.  We will study these mathematical equations in detail and work on simulating them through MatLab or Python.  We will also apply the statistical method known as Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) to make predictions about the gradostat system.  In particular, we will be interested in estimating and predicting the growth rate of the bacteria.  '

  research_tasks_for_student_research_assistant_s_: 'First, the student will be assigned some articles and textbook chapters to read to gain some necessary background knowledge.  After reading, the student should write up a short summary of the reading to share and discuss with me.  The student will work with me to develop code in MatLab or Python to simulate our mathematical model.  Finally, the student will prepare a poster to present their results.  The student may have the opportunity to submit their poster to local and national conferences if they would like.  '
