Bio
Hi all! I'm Armin, a 4th year medical student at Dartmouth. I first joined a lab and started doing research in my Junior year of high school, and have been involved with various forms of research ever since. I really enjoy using research to explore the ~unknown~ and to try to find an answer to questions I'm most curious about. I hope to become a neurosurgeon after medical school, and my current research interest is in developing and testing therapies for brain cancer. Outside of academics, I enjoy hiking, biking, and flying. I'm also a big fan of ethically integrating artificial intelligence and emerging technologies into our daily lives!Project ideas
Project ideas are meant to help inspire student thinking about their own project. Students are in the driver seat of their research and are free to use any or none of the ideas shared by their mentors.
Can Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria Make Our Crops More Resilient?
Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (GPR) are bacteria that can organically enhance the growth of a variety of plants. GPRs are easy to acquire and safe to use, and have the potential to be a great organic soil fertilizer. Together, we could browse the scientific literature to learn more about the benefits and downsides of GPRs. Then, we could design an experiment to measure if GPRs can enhance the growth of common plants (such as vegetables and herbs) or make them more resilient to harsh environmental conditions. Finally, we could analyze our data and present it as a poster or a paper!
