What I'm looking for

I'm looking to advance pharmaceutical sciences through innovative drug-delivery research, pharmacy education, and the integration of AI and machine learning into healthcare and drug development.

At Palm Beach Atlantic University, I teach pharmaceutics and pharmaceutical compounding while coordinating advanced compounding courses and developing AI in Healthcare education. My work connects drug delivery, pharmacy education, and practical AI applications.

My research develops and characterizes niosomal and liposomal drug-delivery systems for challenging diseases, including brain tumors. I’ve secured funded research for temozolomide-loaded nanovesicles and built an AI-assisted grading platform using Google Cloud, Vertex AI, Firestore, and Flask.
