Working on my next big thing

Lead multidisciplinary researchers and engineers in academic, pre-clinical, and clinical 𝐦𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬. ✢ Involved in 40 concurrent projects encompassing Raman imaging, acoustic contrast agents, targeted photoacoustic contrast agents, RF-acoustic imaging, cancer imaging, and clinical trials.✢ Leverage data analysis to inform decision-making and identify successes and failures.

Spearhead the delivery of 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥-𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦. To that end, I drive a highly complex system from concept to pilot clinical trials in four years. I ensure the quality and timeliness of work from mechanical, software, and manufacturing subcontractors. In addition, I train Stanford medical staff on imaging system operations. ✢ Selected as one of six Stanford Philips Healthcare Fellows for clinical translation of photoacoustic imaging of prostate and thyroid cancers✢ Promoted to Team Leader after exceeding expectations through the development of creative solutions✢ Named one of several national researchers selected as Sir Peter Michael Foundation Fellow for excellence in clinical translation of prostate cancer photoacoustic imaging✢ Chosen as SPARK Program Fellow as one of 14 Stanford teams for clinical translation of photoacoustic imaging of bacterial infections

I 𝐭𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞 as a graduate student focusing on hands-on experience and real-life applications of 𝐛𝐢𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬. In addition, I taught multiple courses about wave propagation in tissue, optics & lasers in medicine, biomedical measurements & devices, radiation, and medical imaging.✢ Selected as Outstanding Teaching Assistant twice
