Biomedical engineer and health technology innovator focused on developing next-generation medical devices for sleep and neurological disorders. I currently serve as a Scientific Associate at the KITE Research Institute, University Health Network (UHN), as part of the Canada LEADS Program, a national initiative designed to translate cutting-edge research into high-impact HealthTech ventures.

My current research focuses on developing Smart4OSA, a 4-in-1 integrated system for obstructive sleep apnea management, combining wearable sensing technologies, smart textiles, and intelligent physiological monitoring to improve diagnosis, treatment, and long-term patient outcomes. My broader vision is to translate academic innovation into scalable HealthTech startups that bridge research, clinical impact, and commercialization while strengthening Canada’s leadership in medical technology innovation.

Throughout my career, I have secured and contributed to multiple international research grants and fellowships exceeding $1M USD, including the Novo Nordisk Foundation Research Scholar Fellowship (USD 750K) at Stanford University and the Stanford HAI Hoffman-Yee Research Grant (USD 250K) for supporting next-generation neurotechnology research. I was also awarded the prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Technical University of Denmark. These competitive awards reflect the translational impact of my work in biomedical systems, neurotechnology, and healthcare innovation.
