      Jun 2020 - Jan 2024
      Research Engineer

      I have honed a diverse skill set that spans multiple disciplines. My journey has equipped me with a strong foundation in laser technology and its applications, specifically within the context of biomedical imaging and signal processing for intra-operative cancer tissue detection. Notably, I undertook the responsibility of managing the protocol of a clinical trial, where I designed, executed, and presented a clinical protocol developed in collaboration with the prestigious University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). This experience demonstrated my ability to navigate intricate regulatory landscapes, implement rigorous risk management strategies, and communicate complex technical concepts effectively to senior stakeholders.
