About Me

I have a passion for learning how human factors and external environments impact the brain. I love to go to the gym, travel, go to the beach, paint and listen to music. You can always find me trying new restaurants and learning how to cook new recipes for my friends and family to try!

Thesis Research:

My research interest is to quantify fracture characteristics, bone mineral density (BMD), and morphological changes related to proximal humerus fractures, using 3 different imaging modalities. The effectiveness of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), single energy quantitative (SEQCT), and dual-energy quantitative computed tomography (DEQCT) are compared. These imaging techniques enable a multidimensional study, giving rise to a deeper comprehension of fracture patterns, bone quality, and prospective risk factors. I use different software to compute 3D models like ITK-SNAP, MIMICS, 3-MATIC and ABQUS CAE highlighting selected regions to identify different strains. the study's findings are anticipated to shed important light on the biomechanics of proximal humerus fractures. This research also seeks to assist physicians in choosing the best imaging approach for precise fracture characterization and treatment planning by comparing the performance of several imaging modalities.
