About

I am a doctoral candidate in Biomedical Engineering at Yale University, with a background in Electrical Engineering from the University of Toronto. I am an Advanced Graduate Leadership Fellow in the Academic track, a Graduate Teaching Center Fellow, and a Teaching Fellow in Electrical Engineering.

I work under the supervision of Hemant D. Tagare in the Image Processing and Analysis Group at the Yale School of Medicine. My current research interests are primarily centered around cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) reconstruction and also medical image segmentation and registration. My research work is partially supported by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.

I am passionate about engineering leadership (education and development), as well as student governance. I strongly support the use of LaTeX in the natural sciences and advocate the adoption of the Insight Toolkit (ITK) in medical image processing. I have also enjoyed working on some interesting projects in the past
