I am a PhD student from Canada. I graduated with a B.Eng. in Engineering Physics from Carleton University (Ottawa, Canada). Upon graduating I relocated to Germany to complete my Masters in Nanobiophysics at the Biotechnology Center of the TU Dresden. During my time in Dresden I worked as a student research assistant in the SAWLab Saxony, part of the Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research (IFW Dresden). We worked towards developing an acoustic-based microfluidic device for the separation of blood cells with lithographically defined, on-chip fluidic channels.
During my PhD here at Monash I will be working towards incorporating acoustics in a 3D bio-printing setup for enhanced tissue printing. Outside of the lab I spend most of my time cooking, eating and drinking coffee. To burn off all those delicious calories I enjoy long cycling trips, hiking, skiing and all fitness related activities. In my Canadian youth I was a competitive Hockey player and whenever I can find ice and a puck I still enjoy playing my favourite game. I am also an avid traveler and photographer. |
