2020-2022: Built a handheld surgical device that uses light to detect cancer cells. Raised 5K CAD in research funding and successfully tested a prototype at Carleton University.
2022: Was one of 18 high-schoolers across North America invited to the headquarters of X (formerly Google[X]) to come up with a new technology project. Built non-invasive biosensors in collaboration with four other students.
2023: Admitted to Stanford University’s Class of 2027. Planning to study biomechanical engineering.
2023: Received a Silver medal at the Canada-Wide Science Fair (CWSF) for cancer detection project
2024: Selected as one of 25 researchers and entrepreneurs around the world to receive the $10,000 O’Shaughnessy Ventures fellowship to support my research in phage therapy (https://www.osv.llc/oshaughnessy-fellowships)
2024: Selected as one of fellows by Stanford’s Existential Risks Initiative (SERI) to conduct independent research at Stanford University on antimicrobial resistance.

I am an undergraduate student studying bioengineering at Stanford University. Currently, I am researching infectious diseases and microbiology, with a focus on drug-resistant bacterial infections. In the long term, my goal is to create a complete map of all the microbes on our planet, and to create Stanford’s first department of viral discovery and response.
