/ about me
I am a Master's student in Computer and Electrical Engineering at RWTH Aachen University, passionate about software engineering, visual computing, and entrepreneurship. My academic journey has taken me across Germany, the Netherlands, and the United States.

In Germany, during my time in Stryker's DevSecOps Department, I engineered a surgical navigation proof-of-concept application that integrated real-time patient data with interactive 3D anatomy visualization and structured procedural guidance—enhancing intraoperative decision support. In the Netherlands, at Delft University of Technology, I completed advanced coursework in software verification, computer architectures, and artificial intelligence. For my Master's thesis, I joined the Visual Computing Group at Harvard University, led by Prof. Hanspeter Pfister, where I worked on the visualization and analysis of brain connectomes. I designed an open-source computational framework for neural motif analysis, enabling the systematic investigation of fundamental building blocks of brain networks. Currently, I am a visiting graduate student at the HIDIVE Lab at Harvard Medical School, where I focus on visualizing tissue architecture and modeling cellular interactions through spatial graphs.

Beyond academics, I am grateful for the opportunities to experience diverse cultural and research environments, which have helped me build lasting relationships with friends and mentors. When I'm not in the lab, you'll likely find me on the tennis court, shooting hoops, or playing the piano.
