Biography
I am a PhD candidate in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Toronto, driven by a passion for harnessing technology to improve healthcare outcomes. My research at KITE – Toronto Rehab Institute focuses on automating in-home rehabilitation using cutting-edge technologies, computer vision, and artificial intelligence. My background spans clinical engineering, AI, and software development, with particular expertise in applied machine learning, deep learning, and biological signal processing. During my undergraduate studies, I studied EEG signals in the context of perceptual decision-making, which improved my understanding of the connections between brain waves and confidence in perceptual decisions. My ultimate goal is to contribute valuable developments to systems that enhance quality of life, especially in healthcare settings, and make a meaningful impact in this field.
