• MS, Biomedical Engineering, University of Michigan

Research Interests

• I was always fascinated in biology in their complexity as I always had a deep interest in engineering and math

• I saw that the beauty of engineering and math is that it tries to simplify even the most complex things into understandable systems and the beauty of biology is that even the most complex system works in organized harmony.  The stark polarity of the two fields is what I believe left the two so distant and incompatible at the current state. However, I saw the two fields to be very complementary and seeing the potential in two working together, I wanted to contribute to science that can reduce the gap between the two

• Currently, I am working on metabolic flux research on cancer and immune systems and the interactions between them in the tumor microenvironment (TME) using isotopic tracer metabolites. Right now I am mainly working on the effects of collateral lethality in triple negative breast cancer cell metabolism

Hobbies

• YouTube and finding new hobbies, tech based such as coding, watching tech news and bowling
