Work & Experience

Things I've
built &
been part of

From UAVs to cardiovascular stents, from hackathons to NGOs — a record of what I've done and what I've learned doing it.

Mar 2026 – Present
Biomedical Simulation Capstone — Digital Twin Pipeline
LEAP Australia · RMIT University · ANSYS · Part-time
Developing a full digital-twin pipeline for cardiovascular stent deployment under supervision at RMIT, in collaboration with LEAP and ANSYS. Building CFD models of stenosed arteries, designing smart-material stents, and running fully-coupled fluid–structure interaction (FSI) simulations. Performing virtual implantation using patient-specific 3D artery scans, evaluating clinical metrics including wall shear stress, pressure drop, and flow recovery.
