I’m fascinated by the intersection of physics and biology. Particularly the fields of health physics, diagnostic medical physics, and space medicine. My professional experience centers primarily around research, but also spans clinical, regulatory, and educational applications. I relish any opportunity to improve my skills as a scientific communicator and contribute meaningfully to society through my work.Some Highlights:•Medical Physics - I conduct clinical neuroimaging research at Imgen, focusing on data analysis, manuscript drafting, and refining research procedures to ensure reliable, clinically translatable findings relating to mTBI, Alzheimer's dementia, and carbon monoxide poisoning.•Health Physics - I oversee radiation safety, protection, and control measures for the DOE. My main duties include calibrating advanced instruments and recommending safety protocols to mitigate health risks associated with ionizing radiation exposure.•Teaching - I teach at both Touro University Nevada College of Medicine (TUNCOM) and University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). At TUNCOM I teach and lead a clinical research course and internship program that I designed for first-year medical school students called Fundamentals of Clinical Research. At UNLV I teach Physical Principles of Computed Tomography to students enrolled in the radiation technologist program. •Doctoral Research - I am currently developing a machine learning/transfer learning algorithm using neuroimaging data to predict clinical outcomes of quantitative neuroimaging findings. I'm deeply passionate about advancing machine learning techniques, particularly on improving their translatability and predictive utility for smaller-scale datasets, bridging the gap between big data and subject-level predictive statistics.Outside of work, I enjoy old cars, travelling, and the Grateful Dead.
