Biography
Professional Background
I am a Principal Scientist and Bioengineer with a PhD from UCLA and a background in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Utah. My academic and professional journey has been defined by a commitment to rigorous scientific inquiry and practical application.
Currently, at Octavian Solutions, I lead in vitro research efforts, translating complex optical diagnostic concepts into validated products. My experience covers the full lifecycle of R&D, from grant writing and experimental design to FDA/OSHA compliance and team leadership.
Research Philosophy
"True innovation in healthcare requires bridging the gap between engineering precision and biological complexity. I believe in developing diagnostic tools that are not only scientifically novel but designed with the end-user in mind."
