Hello! I'm a Mechanical Engineering Ph.D. Candidate at McGill University. My research interests lie at the intersection of machine learning, engineering, and medicine. Currently, I'm engaged in developing and validating novel surgical training simulators through state-of-the-art VR/AR technologies. #### Academic Research As a published author, my work has been accepted and presented at world-renowned conferences such as the ORS PSRS 6th International Spine Research Symposium and the 11th Interdisciplinary World Congress on Low Back & Pelvic Girdle Pain. I focus on rigorous methodological approaches and the application of machine learning algorithms in the healthcare domain. #### Technical Skills * Proficient in Developing Machine Learning Algorithms: From initial conceptualization to full functionality. * Specialized in Validating VR/AR Surgical Simulations: Conducting face, content, and construct validity studies. * Experienced in medical/surgical device development including surgical robotics. * Expertise in Conducting Randomized Controlled Trials: From preparation (writing protocols, designing questionnaires, IRB applications) to execution (participant recruitment, data collection) and analysis (data post-processing, statistical analyses). #### Business Acumen My experience as the Business Development and Operations Director at Alkadri Trading Co. has honed my strategic business mindset, optimizing ROI and capitalizing on organizational strengths to drive growth. #### Awards & Distinctions I have consistently been in the top 5% of my graduate class in the faculty of Engineering at McGill University. Among my accolades are the best graduating Honours thesis, first place in the final departmental examinations, and multiple graduate scholarships including the Vadasz Scholar McGill Engineering Doctoral Award and the McGill Engineering Undergraduate Student Masters Award. #### Teaching & Mentorship Besides research, I've mentored bioengineering students in their capstone projects and have served as a Teaching Assistant at McGill. #### Let's Connect I'm always open to collaborating on impactful research, discussing innovative solutions in machine learning and medical simulation, and exploring business aspects in these fields.
