About
B.E. Biomedical Engineering · The City College of New York · expected May 2028
I'm a biomedical engineering student at The City College of New York, moving toward computational neuroscience and neural imaging. My footing is engineering physics, circuits, and mechanics. I now apply it to MRI-based biomarker research and machine-learning analysis of brain data as a research assistant in the ZVR Lab at the University of Rochester, and to head modeling and electric-field simulation in the Bikson Lab at CCNY.
I'm comfortable across theory, Python data pipelines, and statistical inference, and I want to develop machine-learning and deep-learning methods for fMRI and brain-signal decoding. Outside research I train in combat martial arts.
