My academic journey began at NYU Tandon School of Engineering, where I majored in Biotechnology and gained a strong foundation in molecular biology, genetic engineering, and translational research. The program emphasized both technical proficiency and innovation, and through advanced coursework and project-based learning, I developed a keen interest in how molecular mechanisms influence human health. During this time, I was particularly drawn to the intersection of biotechnology and disease pathology, which laid the groundwork for my current research focus.

Now, as a Ph.D. student in Bioengineering, I am building upon that foundation by investigating the molecular and epigenetic mechanisms that drive inflammation and remodeling in cardiovascular disease, particularly after myocardial infarction. My prior training in experimental design, molecular techniques, and biomedical systems at NYU continues to inform and strengthen my approach to current research questions in cardiovascular immunology and therapeutic development.
