About
I am a mechanician who uses computational tools to study human physiology, with the goal of improving diagnosis, treatment, and intervention. Currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Notre Dame in the CoMMaND Lab, my work focuses on how tissue remodeling affects organ-level function, with a primary focus on the gut.
I completed my PhD at the University of Denver at the Center for Orthopaedic Biomechanics, developing patient-specific soft tissue models for surgical planning, and spent a brief stint at Microsoft in product design.
I am broadly interested in digital twins, patient-specific soft tissue models, and computational physiology as tools for clinical decision-making.
