Education.

I pursued an education in Biomolecular Science and Biotechnology through a rigorous, five-year B.S./M.S. program at New York University's School of Engineering. This culminated in my earning a magna cum laude B.S. degree in 2022 and an M.S. degree in May 2023. In addition to my major coursework, I completed a study abroad in Sydney, Australia, a minor in Public Health, and a pre-medicine curriculum, which included preparing for and taking the MCAT examination. These experiences, alongside others outside of the NYU-network, have further expanded my knowledge-base in medicine, engineering, and the life sciences.

Graduating Magna Cum Laude

Graphical representation of my academic progress over 4 years showcases a steady rise in my overall and term GPAs. This demonstrates my ability to maintain and improve upon a consistently high academic standing. This commitment resulted in my graduation with magna cum laude honors and a GPA in the 93rd percentile.

Coursework Highlights

During my academic career, I focused my primary thesis studies on machine-learning optimized neuromodulation and my graduate exploratory studies on regenerative medicine.

I also pursued an array of special interests These interests include bioinformatics and genetic sequencing, the pathogenesis and societal impact of HIV, battery chemistry and energy storage, and genetic engineering with CRISPR.

Below are highlights from some of these papers and projects, pursued whenever opportunities arose to explore these topics.
