I am an undergraduate at UC San Diego majoring in Environmental Systems(Ecology, Behavior, and Evolution) with a minor in marine science. I am interested in research regarding ecotoxicology and biomimicry. I have been involved in projects exploring the composition and structure of Chaetopterus tubes, nudibranchs, and microplastics. My current project focuses on microfiber production and degradation. I hope to develop a method in which microfibers can be generated to study how they interfere with light-producing organisms.
