  Prof. D.F.V

  Sept 2006 - Aug 2007

  Research Assistant

  As a research assistant in my last year of undergraduate studies, I conducted theoretical calculations on Metamaterials and assessed the coherence of monochromatic incoherent field in medium with negative index of refraction.

• 

  University of Toronto

  Sept 2006 - May 2007

  Resource Center Assistant

  I assisted students with experiments set up and proper equipment and responded to technical and conceptual issues and questions.

• 

  McMaster University

  Sept 2007 - Mar 2010

  As a research and lab assistant, I conducted simulations, computational and numerical analysis, and formulated fabrication processes. I implemented CMOS fabrication procedures in cleanroom and developed, aligned and analyzed optical setup to investigate the quality of the fabricated devices.✔ Developed a new method to thermally calibrate an optical sensing device by 0.08 nm/deg.✔ Developed and carried out fabrication processes that efficiently developed the device in clean room by applying optoelectronics principles.

  University Health Network

  Feb 2013 - Jan 2016

  Research Fellow

  I collaborated with a great multidisciplinary team of scientists and radiologists on medical imaging experiments to reduce exposure of patients to radiation while enhancing the diagnosis using CT scan. By addressing the analytical requirements in the success of each project, I helped the design of clinical and non-clinical studies keep the scientific focus. I coordinated and participated in the studies to get consent from patients, gather data and meet any analytical need during the study.✔ Improved diagnosis of patients with pulmonary embolism by determining requirements for producing diagnostic CT images by gathering data and conducting qualitative, quantitative, and statistical analyses.✔ Developed Matlab codes to simulate and/or analyze image data.✔ Submitted abstracts and manuscripts to scientific journals and presented at scientific conferences Show less
