I am a Biomedical Engineering PhD student at the University of Toronto. My research focuses on computationally modeling the cellular dynamics for the differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into cardiomyocytes and alveolar epithelial cells.

Before this, I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Winnipeg, majoring in Biochemistry and Mathematics. During my studies, I became really interested in biomedical science, especially in areas like biochemistry, molecular genetics, tissue engineering, and mathematical modeling for diseases. This made me extremely interested in pursuing exciting research and work opportunities in these fields.

As an international student in the past, I have had the chance to interact with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. This has helped me adapt quickly to new situations and gain a broader perspective. I am always eager to learn new things and enjoy solving problems.

Beyond my academic pursuits, I like to read books, spend time with friends, explore new cuisines, and play Monopoly competitively. I believe my experiences in both my academic and personal life have shaped me, and I’m excited to apply and refine the skills I’ve developed whenever the opportunity arises.
