Laboratory Researcher (Elegant Mind Club) @Ucla Physics And Astronomy

Researching under the guidance of Professor Katsushi Arisaka to understand the origins of consciousness, mainly through the behavioural and neurological analysis of drosophila larvae - Utilize advanced microscopes, LED strips, and coding softwares to identify neural fluorescence through bio-imaging- Utilize platforms such as MatLab, to discover and refine ROIs, mapping optic lobes and specialty organs in the brain- Program Arduino commands for semi-automated microscope operations- Conduct profuse data collection through behavioural experiments by close analysis of raw videos, and eventual quantitative data processing through platforms like Tracker
