Lecturer

University of British Columbia

I am a Lecturer in the Computer Science department at the University of British Columbia. I received my PhD in Physics from the Reinsberg lab in 2019 where among other things, I developed a new MRI technique to assess the oxygenation status of tumours using independent component analysis (ICA). During my PhD I got interested in data science, learning analytics, and science communication and that led me to learn more about statistical techniques such as ICA, and data visualization using interactive dashboards.
