Here are some of the research projects I have been involved in.

I conducted research in Venezuela and presented a poster in Spanish at a university science symposium, which was subsequently featured in the university magazine of the Universidad Central de Venezuela. This experience not only deepened my understanding of the subject matter but also demonstrated my ability to communicate complex scientific ideas effectively in multiple languages. Being able to present and publish in both English and Spanish showcases my versatility and capability as a researcher, allowing me to contribute to a broader academic audience.

Interested in how Henri Poincaré advanced discovery in behavior, imaging, predictive modeling, and scientific methods, I explored his contributions to science, connecting his work to giants like Einstein and Kant. Immersed in 19th-century manuscripts, I authored a paper highlighting Poincaré's significance to science as he opened the door for the Theory of Relativity and the Theory of Chaos. I fortified my research and communication skills, expanding my knowledge of the intricacies of publication and collaboration with scientists. Moreover, my paper was published in a local science magazine.

With this work, we aim to characterize every possible mutation of Asparagine #220, an amino acid in the enzyme. The enzyme we are studying is connected to Gaucher Disease, a rare genetic disorder that results in an accumulation of fatty acids, which can lead to enlarged organs, bone pain, and anemia. I am currently writing a paper with my research teammates that we plan to submit for publication.
