About Me
I completed my PhD in physics at McGill, supervised under Prof. Paul Wiseman. My research involved the study of fluorescence microscopy in biophysics. Specifically, I developed autocorrelation techniques to measure photophysical and transport parameters from fluorescence microscopy image series. .
