The good news is that your intended meaning is clear even though not expressed in the best fashion.

At the very least, you should have placed an adjective before the second “concepts”. Or just said " I want to expand upon my current knowledge of scientific concepts through experimentation."

“I engaged in a three month science research project in an effort to expand upon my current knowledge of scientific concepts.”
