About Me

I’m a hardworking, driven, and innovative individual passionate about integrating today’s latest technology into healthcare to improve treatment and recovery outcomes. My work focuses on developing cutting-edge robotics solutions for medical applications, particularly in surgical systems and brain imaging.

Currently, I am an Analog Front End Engineer at Meniscense, a robotics startup company, and I am designing a new version of their analog front end for their next generation of robots. We work on creating solutions to accurately measure the volume of individual wells in well plates so that lab automation can become faster and more accurate. Through the use of Altium Designer, I am creating Printed Circuit Boards to meet and exceed the needs of our system and making sure we have a future proof solution to our emerging technology.

Previously, I was a researcher at the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, where I designed a cost-effective, room-temperature brain imaging system that eliminates the need for cryogenic cooling of magnetometer sensors. By developing custom, hand-wound coils and conducting extensive Python simulations, I successfully reduced system costs by over $500,000 while improving field nullification accuracy.

I am dedicated to bridging the gap between innovative robotics and medical solutions, helping to create the technologies that will shape the future of healthcare.

 FAQs

  • I love hanging out with my friends and enjoying new foods. Currently I am trying to immerse myself in Asian fusion offerings, recommendations are highly encouraged!
    I also like water sports and traveling to beautiful landscapes. My steady hands would make me a great photographer, if only I owned a camera …

  • I do! I have a Bearded Dragon named Bowser! He is quiet fella who like to watch TV. TV you ask. Well, that’s right! I made him a small TV out of a Rpi and an OLED screen that I loaded a few publicly available cartoons onto. He loves to sit under his heat lamp and fling his tail about when he sees the moving screen.

  • I have always wanted to help people in any way I can. My love for surgery started from watching Greys Anatomy (Cristina Yang is my favorite character), but at the same time I was a part of my middle school’s robotics team. Since middle school I continued building robots and seeking new opportunities, even having the opportunity to sit in on a neurosurgery. It was a tough decision between medical school and engineering school but I decided that I wanted to do both, and to do so I needed to become an engineer and specialize in healthcare robotics so that I can still make the impact I wanted.

    I am glad I stuck with my dream and goal, and I would not change a thing!

  • I cannot decide what platform is better, but music is so import in my life that I own both! Apple Music currently holds the songs I grew up on that shaped me into the person I am now, and Spotify has the new music I want to explore on the rest of my growing journey.

  • I jumped out of a plane! It was the best experience of my life! As cliche as it sounds, it really gave me a new perspective on life and having a really healthy work/life balance. I hope to never forget what it was like to just plummet down to earth from 10,000+ ft.

    What is life without thrill?
