I am currently a high school student passionate about the applications of computational imaging, particularly in medicine. Right now, I am working on developing a startup to integrate low-cost optics with image processing and artificial intelligence to provide primary healthcare solutions.

My goal is to continue pursuing education in this field through a rigorous curriculum of physics, mathematics, and computer science, with the aim of becoming a researcher. Additionally, I am interested in continuing my prospects of entrepreneurship, leveraging my research to make a tangible difference in people’s lives.

Being a member of the Masason Foundation will support my journey of further rigorous education in computer science. Additionally, the foundation will provide me with a community of like-minded members, resulting in exposure to new ideas and technologies.
