About Me
Physicist with a Master of Science and Bachelor of Technology in Applied Physics and interdisciplinary experience spanning biomedical research, experimental physics, scientific data analysis, and STEM education. Through research in cancer biophysics and photodynamic therapy (PDT), I gained hands-on experience with fluorescence and confocal microscopy, image analysis, experimental design, data collection, and computational research using MATLAB and Python. My background includes laboratory instruction, scientific documentation, student mentoring, and collaborative work across research and academic environments. I am comfortable working with large datasets, research databases, Linux-based systems, and quantitative analysis tools, and I enjoy applying analytical and problem-solving skills to support scientific discovery. I am seeking opportunities in biomedical research, clinical research, laboratory operations, data-driven research, and STEM education.
