Together with my bioplastic team, we were able to produce a series of different bioplastics that all utilized mango discards, and began to run different tests to observe the viability of each iteration of biopolymer to substitute in commercial products. Under my solar cell project, I was able to record information received from the solar cells and produced code in python to interpret and predict future data, which can help the university become more reliant on sustainable solar energy.
The most important skill that I developed at MIT and utilized in my project was my ability to collaborate with others. With my team working in bioplastic development, we were able to work together effectively and communicate constructively to reach our end goal. Additionally, I was able to use my knowledge of python, which I had developed at MIT, to further my solar cell research.
The main skills that I developed during my stay were proper lab etiquette and how to run and record proper lab trials.
