Working as intern for the OHSU Cancer Research Institute, Conrad conducted experiments to support cancer research, including cell culture, sample prep, cell staining and bioassays, even performing murine surgical procedures.

Working as intern for Sensobright Industries, Conrad learned hands on fabrication as a machine shop assistant.  There he developed 3D Modeling skills, laser cutting, technical collaboration skills and engineering documentation.

University projects include prototyping a small-scale Robotic Arm which included designing parts for printing with a Bambu P1S 3D printer.  Conrad is also a member of the DAM Robotics Club – and works in the science mechanism group for the Mars Rover Team.

Outside of work, Conrad enjoys playing on the Oregon State Club Lacrosse team.  Wakeboarding in summer and snowboarding in winter and sports photography every season.   An avid science fiction reader, his favorite author is Andy Weir.  If there is extra time, he likes working in the ceramics studio making designer bowls and vases.
