Hello, my name is Zachary Miller. For a copy of my resume, please click the link here: Zachary Miller S Resume-271oinb

I have experience in working in a professional research lab environment. I actively participate in genetic research in Doctor Hay-Oak Park’s Lab at The Ohio State University. In this lab, I am working on research in cellular stress response in yeast. With this project, the risk for contamination of the yeast cells being worked on is high. As such, I have learned how to create media and plates in a highly sterilized manner. I have also learned methods of inoculation of cells to media or plates that minimize the risk of contamination. I also have experience in the lab techniques of ELISA, Mass Spectroscopy, Human Tissue Microscopic Identification, Dissection, Autoclaving, Vacuum Plasma Treatment,  Microfluidics, Fluorescent Microscopy, and Confocal Microscopy.

I also worked at The Anderson Ethanol Plant as a seasonal employee. In this job, I was in charge of upkeep in the facility and helping with maintenance and repairs. As such, I gained experience in the handling of potentially hazardous materials. Specifically, I learned techniques in minimizing risks that could be involved in working in potentially hazardous environments such as Class One Division One areas. I also gained experience with using heavy machinery, Personal Protective Equipment, lock out tag out, confined space entry, air quality monitoring, and providing fire watch.
