Academic Areas of Interest

Bioengineering, Biophysics, Computer Science, and Artificial Intelligence. At Penn, I intend to conduct interdisciplinary research that bridges these fields, particularly by continuing my research project on neuroprotective agents in Parkinson’s disease and expanding it through computational approaches and biological research. Additionally, I aim to complete the accelerated master’s program in bioengineering.

Activities & Hobbies

I enjoy taking on leadership roles as a Chairperson at European Youth Parliament Conferences across the globe, and I also find great joy in traveling to explore new cultures. I thrive on developing entrepreneurial ideas, swimming competitively, engaging in community service, and challenging myself by learning new languages. Above all, I wholeheartedly value every opportunity to grow as a leader, strengthen my intercultural competency, and make the most of my time at Penn!

Future Plans

Upon completing my undergraduate studies, I aspire to pursue a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering in the U.S. Subsequently, I see myself working in academia, where I can contribute to advancing research in bioinformatics and guiding the next generation of scientists to drive meaningful impact.
