I am a creative, multi-disciplinary engineer and artist with a passion for directing teams.  My vision is to develop technology to improve women's health and environmental monitoring.  I am currently a Ph.D. researcher in Computational Imaging. I am most excited about taking technology out of the lab and scaling into products. Speaking of outside of the lab, I am also a theater director, ultimate frisbee coach, and continue to empower women.

Computational imaging leverages the co-design of both hardware and algorithms to push the capabilities of imaging systems such as microscopes, telescopes, cell-phone cameras, MRI machines, etc. My current focus is applying computational techniques to hyperspectral imaging to build compact devices for biology and medicine.  I have ongoing collaborations with industry and other labs.  I am excited about the commercialization potential of new imaging technology. 

Engineering Portfolio

More project details coming soon.  In the meantime, please view my old portfolio as a pdf.  I've done a bunch of different kinds of projects (hardware + software), not all of them listed here, so feel free to reach out to learn more!
