Education
I’m a 1st-year MD-PhD student at Sidney Kimmel Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University. I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania in 2024 with a BSE in Bioengineering and a minor in Chemistry. At Penn, I received the Bioengineering Student Leadership Award and served as Co-President of the Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honors Society and the Penn Pre-Medical Association.
Aims
I aim to advance patient care by combining clinical expertise with research in systems and computational medicine. My current research focus is on developing deep learning frameworks (e.g. digital twins and biosynthetic neural networks) to better model human physiology and disease. Going forward, I strive to lead collaborations with industry, leveraging my clinical and research insights to drive innovation and shape both strategic and investment decisions.
Relevant Experiences
At Jefferson, I currently lead a team of students in cardiac surgery clinical outcomes research and have conducted research in cardiac electrophysiology systems modeling. At Penn, I completed multiple engineering projects that involved designing predictive mathematical models (e.g. 2D finite difference model), diagnostic algorithms, and control systems using MATLAB to solve complex physiological problems. These experiences have honed my skills in computational analysis, systems modeling, and biomedical innovation.
Hobbies
I enjoy studying American history, the history of medicine, learning new languages, and exploring the integration of alternative medicine traditions (e.g. Ayurveda) with Western allopathic medicine. I also enjoy volunteering at various worship centers.
