Summary
Foremost, I am curious. I love to dig in and obsess with a new topic. I became an expert in cardiovascular fluid mechanics during my PhD and I am keen to dive into a new subject for a new challenge.
I am analytically minded, detail oriented, and have a proclivity for mathematics and scientific computing/programming. My greatest asset is that I know I can learn any skill needed to solve whatever problem I'm currently focused on. I pride myself on my ability to communicate complicated technical concepts in a non-technical, yet comprehensive way.
