Title: Associate Professor

School / Department: Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences
Mentoring Philosophy:
In our lab, my goal is to provide a supportive and enriching experience that fosters both academic and personal growth. Students can expect comprehensive guidance in all aspects of the research process from me and other lab members, from developing experimental skills to understanding the broader scientific context of our work. I will schedule regular one-on-one meetings to discuss progress, troubleshoot challenges, and explore new ideas to ensure the student feels confident in their role and contributions. Students can also expect a collaborative lab culture, where feedback and learning come from interactions with fellow lab members.
Overall, my aim is to ensure the student leaves with a solid foundation in scientific research, a better understanding of their career interests, and confidence in their abilities as a young scientist.
