What I'm looking for

I'm looking to join the clinical research community, applying computational methods and biomedical investigation to advance healthcare.

I'm curating food-video data and running a 48-participant study at the Interactive Technologies Institute, collecting ECG, EDA, EGG, eye-tracking, and EEG data for eating-disorder and human-food interaction research.

With degrees in Biomedical Engineering and Software and Computer Engineering, I've worked with iPSC cultures, RNA purity testing, microscopy, ImageJ FISH analysis, and biomechanical data processing. I'm motivated to fuse computational methods with biomedical investigation and contribute to clinical research.
