Sara Fishel

I am currently enrolled at Indiana University as a student in the Bachelors of Science in Biochemistry. I am expecting to graduate in December of 2024.

I have worked on or am currently working on two major projects:

Ballistic Projectile Efficiency: Supported by United States Army (Spring of 2021)

I worked with 3 other cadets to evaluate current U.S. Army projectiles, specifically the 5.56mm round used in association with the M249. The goal was to identify current issues and use modeling techniques to optimize the profile of the ballistic for higher accuracy rates. Findings were presented to a board of commanding U.S. Army Corps of Engineers officers. 

Delta-8 THC Analysis via Indiana University Analytical Chemistry Lab (Spring of 2023)

I am working with a team to analyze isomers of THC from various forms of highly accessible Delta-8 THC products. The goal of this project is to isolate the psychoactive form of THC and determine whether these concentrations are considered safe based on FDA regulations.
