San Francisco, California, United States

I am a third-year medical student at the University of California, San Francisco. I graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in 2021 with a B.S. in Bioengineering and minor in electrical engineering and computer science. At UC Berkeley, I investigated the biomechanics of glioblastoma invasion using hydrogels in the lab of Dr. Sanjay Kumar, developing an interest in tumor biology while also developing a skill set in machine learning and computational biology. My primary research interests are brain tumors, functional neurosurgery, brain computer interfaces, and spinal oncology.
