Hear about some of my latest research activities in the videos below. I take some selfies while in my labs to make the experience more memorable and personified to my audiences.

Volunteer & Leadership Experience

I have taken initiative and have volunteer at various places for various causes throughout my career journey. Not all of these experiences are listed here as I have decided to not keep track at every single opportunity I had; rather, I have decided to name the ones that have been the most impactful and have taken the most time. Although it is not every time, but whenever my time and finances allows it, I don't hesitate to lend a hand to help out the community.
