I am a summer 2016 REU student, who will graduate from California State University San Bernardino in the summer of 2018 with a B.S. in chemistry with an interest in pursuing further education in the field of forensic science. In the lab, I helped developed methods to bond various thermoplastics to silicone rubbers, which we used to re-structure thermoplastics developed a simple procedure to construct microfluidic devices including soft actuators.
