Princeton University Biophysics Research Intern

I worked virtually as a biophysics research intern for the Princeton University Department of Physics.

I developed code in MATLAB to simulate Burst Analysis Spectroscopy (BAS). BAS is a single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy technique used to quantify complex species distributions, especially those associated with protein aggregation.

I worked with faculty and students at Princeton as well as Texas A&M University, a collaborator on the project.

I am now proficient at coding in MATLAB and have developed a host of new computer science skills. I was also introduced to the field of computational physical chemistry, which combines my interests in math, chemistry, and physics.

I hope to conduct similar research next summer and am inspired to pursue a career in computational biophysics. 

This internship was funded by the Peter Buck Student Internship Fund​.
