Biography

Surgery x Engineering

I am a general surgery resident at Carilion Clinic Virginia Tech. Following my PGY-4 year of residency I completed a research fellowship in Biodesign including a master's degree in biomedical engineering from VT-WF. My research focuses on building intelligent systems using ML/AI pipelines and device engineering training to build clinical tools and systems to improve medical / surgical care with cutting edge technology.

01

Operative Judgment

Clinical thinking and decisive triage designed for high-stress settings.

02

Systems Design

Workflows and user interfaces that compress complex telemetry into high-signal details.

03

Engineering Translation

Translating research fields like clinical ML solve real clinical bottlenecks.
