What I'm looking for

I seek research or development roles that translate computational-simulation pipelines into clinical tools, collaborating with clinicians and interdisciplinary teams, with opportunities for leadership and technology translation.

I am a biomedical engineer and researcher specializing in computational hemodynamics, patient-specific simulations, and translational cardiovascular and neurovascular device development. My work spans high-fidelity CFD, FSI, and in vitro validation to drive personalized treatment planning.

I build end-to-end pipelines from medical image to simulation and 3D-printed anatomical phantoms, combining in silico device deployment with benchtop verification such as PIV. I have led multi-institutional collaborations and industry-sponsored projects to accelerate product iterations.

My background includes doctoral training in biomedical engineering and postdoctoral research focused on thrombus modeling, flow-diverter and embolization device simulation, and experimental clot characterization. I have authored peer-reviewed publications, conference presentations, and hold provisional and pending patents in medical devices.

I seek to translate computational methods into clinical tools, establishing labs that provide clinicians real-time, data-driven support for personalized treatment planning and device optimization.
