At some point in our lives, each and every one of us will be impacted by the devastating effects of cancer. My personal mission is to find and develop better techniques for detecting, managing, and treating this disease. I am currently an assistant professor in the UNC / NCSU Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering where I am developing advanced techniques for treatment planning and imaging of focal ablation therapies. I am an electrical engineer by training and I spend my free time running, snowboarding, and building electronics which have been used in laboratory and clinical settings.
