Virginia Tech-Wake Forest University Biomedical Engineering - PhD 2023 Duke University Medical Physics - MS 2020 Elon University Physics - BS 2018 As a recent PhD graduate from the Virginia Tech-Wake Forest University School of Biomedical Engineering and Sciences, I have transitioned into a new role as a postdoctoral fellow at The Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory University. I value partnerships between core academic driven institutions that seek strong collaborations with university affiliated hospitals. With a concentration in translational cancer sciences, my journey has led me to explore innovative cancer technologies, particularly in the realm of electroporation-based tumor ablation modalities. While my current research endeavors revolve around leveraging high-frequency irreversible electroporation (H-FIRE) to precisely and effectively ablate cancerous tissues, I am driven to bridge the gap between cutting-edge cancer technologies such as electroporation for tumor ablation and the standard of care in radiotherapy. I believe that envisioning the future's most innovative solutions requires a deep dive into a wide array of topics. My previous research endeavors have encompassed a diverse array of topics, from designing 3D printed modular pelvic phantoms for gynecological HDR brachytherapy to exploring electric field thresholds in cancerous prostate tissues treated with irreversible electroporation. Additionally, my interests have led me to delve into x-ray diffraction spectra, gated stimulated emission depletion tomography, and mathematical modeling for disease transmission. My academic journey has exemplified my dedication to excellence in patient treatments and a commitment to leadership in the field. With numerous peer-reviewed journal articles, podium and poster presentations, invited talks, and the filing of two provisional patents, my aspirations extend beyond the laboratory. I aspire to work as a clinical medical physicist, and through my work, I aspire to pioneer advancements that seamlessly integrate these novel modalities into established treatment protocols in the clinic. |
