She completed her Bachelor of Engineering at The City College of New York where she worked as a research assistant in the CCNY Neural Engineering Group in Professor Marom Bikson's lab from August 2019 - June 2022. There, she worked on the production of specialized canes for blind toddlers. She also assisted in the analysis of large data sets acquired during electroconvulsive therapy to help develop a computer model for changes to the electric field of tissue. At Columbia she worked in the Nuckolls and Venkataraman groups where she researched methods in the quantitative analysis of small-scale reactions by means of fluorescence. She is now a member of the Min Group where she helps with research in vibrational probe development, analysis of nanoplastics, and imaging techniques. Carli is a NYC native who enjoys playing tennis and going for hikes with her dog Jordy.
