In 2022 I invented the Finsen headphones, a prototype that can detect ear infections with AI and treat it with blue light phototherapy. Currently, I am researching the use of photobiomodulation in simulated microgravity to induce and accelerate wound healing during long term space travel in an effort to provide affordable wound care on Earth and in space. I enjoy public speaking and encouraging other young students to pursue science, and I do this by volunteering in my local science fair and teaching children science at science expos. As a Masason Foundation member, I would like to publish my research and test photobiomodulation in space, revolutionizing the future of long distance space travel. I would also like to make science and research more available to students.
