The Forensic Investigators Program | Rice University | June 2025 | 40 Hours
The Forensic Investigators Program at Rice University was a five-day camp (June 23–27) that introduced me to multiple areas of forensic science through hands-on learning. I practiced crime scene evidence collection, lab safety, and forensic procedures while working on a mock case using real investigative techniques. The program included firearm and gunshot residue analysis, fingerprint analysis using powder and ink, and discussions with a professional latent fingerprint analyst. I also conducted gel electrophoresis, learning proper lab techniques, tool usage, and DNA analysis from a real case sample. Additionally, I explored forensic entomology, pathology, and toxicology, including determining time of death and analyzing a victim’s last meal. Overall, the experience was eye-opening and showed me how different forensic disciplines work together to solve real-world cases.

Genome Engineering | Rice University
I successfully completed the four-week Genome Engineering: Changing the Future of Medicine program at Rice University (May 18–June 15, 2025). The program introduced core concepts of genome editing, including CRISPR-Cas9, PAM sequences, gRNA, ethics, and future career pathways. Modules covered human genetics, CRISPR mechanisms, ethical considerations, and real-world applications in medicine, agriculture, and engineering. Coursework included evidence-based assignments, quizzes, and a final project in which I delivered a presentation and speech supported by diagrams and real-world examples. Overall, the program was eye-opening and strengthened my understanding of the transformative potential of genome engineering.
