Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Over the course of the summer, I have continued to work within the Escobedo Lab on our various projects involving microfluidics and Raman spectroscopy. Specializing in Lab-On-Chip design, I focused on furthering our research into bacterial biofilm generation and microplastic separation. This included developing a microfluidic chip to enable the interaction between cholera bacteria and intestinal lining and furthering a previous chip design which uses centrifugal force to separate microplastics from a continuously flowing stream of water. I also assisted other researchers with their chip designs, including aiding in the brainstorming of a model meant to digest biological samples to extract microplastics embedded in them, and assisting in designing an entrapment system to concentrate molecules over a SERS (Surface Enhanced Raman Spectrum) based sensor. During the course of my lab work, I also noted some areas in which the lab required additional equipment or features to run more effectively. This led to me developing a number of fixes and aides during our down time between experiments, which I then modeled in CAD and made using our in-lab SLA 3D printers. This solved a variety of issues, including making camera stands to better record experiments and developing covered sample holders for light sensitive materials. Over the course of my summer, I am pleased to say I progressed several areas of our laboratory work, and I am looking forward to continuing my research for my 4th-year thesis this coming year

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
