Beyond research, I am deeply passionate about teaching and mentoring the next generation of engineers.

Research & Life

Research in Movement Biomechanics

My research group focuses on understanding the kinematics and kinetics of healthy, reconstructed, and replaced joints. We aim to develop medical technologies that enhance joint health and mobility.

One of the core projects I am involved in is dual-plane fluoroscopy for tracking joint motion in 3D. Our lab also explores spine scoliosis detection and musculoskeletal modeling.

Education in Oxford

I spent four transformative years at Lincoln College, University of Oxford, pursuing undergraduate studies in Engineering Science.

During my time at Oxford, I participated in the EUROP research program, investigating time-warping techniques for analyzing kinematics data.

Leisure

Outside academia, I enjoy sports, especially badminton, tennis, and skiing.

Whether it is a clean smash on court or a turn down a snowy mountain, these activities remind me that beyond being a student, teacher, or researcher, I am also an adventurer.
