Innolitics is a fully remote medical imaging software services company. As an intern, I became familiar with test-driven development and using the command-line interface. I worked on several internal projects, adding functionality using Python and Bash. I grew more conscious of proper coding conventions to write readable and maintainable code. My personal intern project involved creating a CT slice localizer by applying transfer learning to Keras' pre-trained deep learning models.

During the summers of my junior and senior year, I worked as a research assistant in the Breast Imaging section of the Diagnostic Radiology department. Using Microsoft Access, I built a database to record and organize results of various breast imaging procedures, and I led a number of college and high school students in consolidating data. I attended multidisciplinary conferences to better understand how medical professionals work together during the decision-making process.

As an undergraduate student, I worked in a neuroscience lab under Dr. Hitoshi Morikawa. I was responsible for running conditioned place preference experiments with rats using various addictive substances. I learned how to perform whole body perfusion fixation as well as patch clamp electrophysiology. I gained experience in drafting parts of a scientific article, writing detailed procedures and preparing data for analysis and interpretation. Later on, I wrote test protocols for a new Pavlovian conditioning experiment using MEDState Notation.
