My name is James Vilkas. I am a senior high school student in Lexington High School, Massachusetts.

I volunteered to calibrate the spirometry for research pulmonary function tests as a healthy volunteer. I am involved in data collection, data analysis using SAS, and presenting results in group meeting. The research topics included ILD, IPF and COVID-19.
