School

Johns Hopkins University

I am attending Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD majoring in biomedical engineering and minoring in financial economics. I am actively pursuing research and internship opportunities here.

During freshman year, I worked under the guidance of Dr. Adrian Haith, Ph.D. researching motor skills learning in humans at the Brain, Learning, Animation, and Movement Laboratory (Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions); conducted human trials.
