About Me

I am an amateur academic, adventurer, and science communicator with a passion for decentralized science, generative biology, and space exploration. My work spans innovative medical devices, biostatistical modeling, and speculative studies on human evolution. I’ve shared projects on platforms like Hackaday and Research Hub, and I’m always down to collaborate on a project!

Hemoglobin PMF Models

Analytic PMF for binomial and Adair models to visualize hemoglobin oxygen binding state distributions.

Read More

Hemoglobin PMF Models - Details

Derived PMFs using binomial (independent) and Adair (cooperative) models, validated against literature across pO₂ ranges. This lays groundwork to develop models for precise analysis of oxygen delivery in microcirculation, with applications in sensor calibration and the design of synthetic carriers.

Biostats Simulator - Details

I built an interactive simulator to compute metrics like PPV, NPV, and F1-score across variable inputs. This interactive simulator is meant to be used as an educational tool for graduate medical and clinical science students and practicioners, clarifying the trade-offs in test design, aiding intuitive understanding for screening and diagnostics.
