About Me

With eight years of interdisciplinary academic research experience across varied cultures, I have significantly contributed to my research communities, resulting in publications in major journals. I am a self-driven, intrinsically motivated team player energized by flexible, collaborative, open, interpersonal environments that foster inspiration and goal achievement. My analytical thinking and creative problem-solving skills have strongly been developed through computational tools in Image Analysis and Data Science which I implement in MATLAB, Python, or R to advance my research projects. LinkedIn GitHub
