About

I’m an undergraduate student at the University of Ottawa pursuing an Honours degree in Physics. I’m interested in experimental physics and its applications in medicine, and I aim to pursue a career as a clinical and research medical physicist. Through coursework and lab-based projects, I’ve gained hands-on experience designing and building experimental systems, working with electronics, and analyzing data. My projects included developing an ultrasonic levitation setup with programmable phase control and building an acoustic field mapping system using lock-in detection techniques. These projects exposed me to challenges such as signal synchronization, measurement noise, and experimental limitations, and strengthened my interest in scientific instrumentation and problem-solving. My technical interests include experimental design, electronics, and Python for data analysis. I’m continuing to develop my programming skills and explore areas such as robotics and web development through personal projects. Outside of academics, I enjoy creative and physical activities including digital and traditional art, graphic design, 2D animation, music production, playing musical instruments, language learning, cooking, and sports such as martial arts, swimming, and skating. I’m seeking opportunities to further develop my skills and contribute to research in interdisciplinary areas of physics, particularly in medical and technology-focused applications.
