SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS
I am an experienced scientist and healthcare professional. I am particularly well versed in the arenas of
medical/radiologic imaging and ophthalmologic sciences. I have 9 years of experience with biomedical
research and advanced optical imaging. I am also well acquainted with clinical dimensions of
ophthalmology practice. I helped delineate a novel application of Optical Coherence Tomography (which
utilizes near-infrared wavelengths) toward analysis of vitreous inflammation (see publications). My
participation in cutting-edge research is with the aimof pursuinggraduatestudies (in biological sciences)
in the future. My dynamic experience enables me to quickly grasp novel scientific concepts with great
clarity and apply them with precision.
