Below are self-authored research proposals that I have created for research endeavours over the course of my degree. Research methods courses taken are also listed. Additionally, proof of the successful completion of a research program such as UREAP, Research Apprentice Program, and Directed Studies are also noted.
Research Courses
BIOL 3000 Biometrics (3,0,2)(L)
Course description: Students are introduced to statistical procedures for biological research. Topics include the nature of data, probability, hypothesis testing, goodness of fit, analysis of variance, correlation, and regression. The computer laboratory provides students with hands-on computer experience in graphical and statistical analysis.
Proposals
Undergraduate Research Experience Award Program (UREAP) Application Proposal (2022-23)
For the UREAP scholarship, I wrote a proposal for a project entitled ‘Investigating an analytical method for quantifying tetrahydrozoline found in eye drops using capillary electrophoresis’. I conducted this project under the supervision of Dr. Kingsley Donkor.
I conducted the Research Apprentice Program under the supervision of Dr. Naowarat (Ann) Cheeptham. The project was the ‘Isolation of Bacteriophages from Sewage Water Samples and their Effectiveness in Combating Multi-drug Resistant Bacteria’. Dr. Cheeptham also asked me to write a proposal for my project.
BIOL 4480 Directed Studies in Biology Proposal (2023-24)
I wrote a proposal to apply for a BIOL 4480 Directed Studies in Biology course with Dr. Naowarat (Ann) Cheeptham as my supervisor. This project was a continuation of the experiment I did during my Research Apprenticeship. Specific differences in the research process are outlined in the proposal.
