I am a research intern for Dr. Wei Wu’s group at USC. I am currently working on the use of nanofingers to detect specific molecules using methods such as surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. A list of my research projects is below.
Collapsed Nanofingers as Real-Time Ultra-Sensitive SERS Sensors for Depression Biomarkers
- Designed a novel detection system combining nanostructures and AI to identify and analyze dopamine and serotonin, biomarkers of depression.
- Achieved ultra-sensitive analyte detection using Raman Spectroscopy by innovatively utilizing collapsed Au nanofingers to form a surface-enhanced Raman Spectrum.
- Applied machine learning in analysis, outperforming human and conventional algorithms in filtering complex biological noise.
- Extended the role of AI beyond simple yes/no detection by exploring its potential to predict molecule concentrations.
- Contributed to team discussions on experimental strategies and technical procedures, and assisted in operating the Raman Spectrometer.
