I am a first class honors student with a publication history and relevant laboratory experience in assay development and other quantification techniques. I have shown a vivid interest in Research from a young age. The quality of my work has also been recognized with numerous Awards and Distinctions, including participation at EUCYS and LIYSF, as well as a Silver Medal at INESPO. I was also able to publish my research in a peer reviewed magazine for young scientists. My academic research interests include assay development and quantification techniques, Redox-reactions, Protein Chemistry and Metabolism, Spectroscopy and other analytical techniques.

Defense of Garlic (Allium Sativum L.) Against Herbivory and Heavy Metals with Insights on the Sulfur Metabolism
Published in Junge Wissenschaft
Garlic, grown in a controlled environment, was exposed to either herbivory, copper excess or both stresses. Chlorophyll content in the leaves was measured using a photospectrometry method, FRAP assay (Ferric reducing antioxidant power) was carried out and allicin content was determined using HPLC. Cayman glutathione assay kit was also used to deter...
Experience
Internship in Research Lab August 2015 - September 2015
Prof. Julea Butt (Norwich GB)
- Developed an assay protocol to couple two enzyme reactions and measure kinetics to produce a Michaelis-Menten graph for Galactose oxidase using guar as a substrate using UV/vis spectrophotometer - Carried out and improved protocols for dissolution of guar, viscosity measurements, DNS reducing sugar assay and fluorescence spectroscopy - Learned how to communicate scientific results to research group and supervisor - Results forwarded to BBSRC funding body and the industrial partner Schlumberger Gould Research Centre, Cambridge
