Over the past six years, I have developed a solid background in Biomedical Device Engineering, Physics, and Chemical Engineering, with a focus on neural interface technologies and biomedical research. In my PhD work, I created an innovative neural probe capable of recording neural activity from deep brain structures. I am highly dedicated to research and carry out my work with rigorous precision. RESEARCH & LITERATURE SYNTHESIS • I provide in-depth literature reviews and evidence syntheses to support academic and clinical initiatives. • I leverage PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, Web of Science, and Embase to locate influential peer-reviewed publications and clinical trials. • I organize and maintain complex reference libraries in Mendeley, Zotero, and EndNote to ensure accurate citations and adherence to required formats. EDITING AND SOURCE VALIDATION • I use multiple approaches to strengthen your writing: I meticulously verify your sources, critically assess your reasoning, and deliver comprehensive edits supported by expert feedback. GRANT WRITING • I translate advanced scientific concepts into clear, compelling writing, technical documents, and intuitive schematics, making sure high-level research reaches expert reviewers with maximum impact. My structured approach for merging data science with device engineering was instrumental in securing a $250,000 NFRF Exploration Grant. FIGURE DEVELOPMENT • I design and produce advanced scientific visuals—ranging from data-driven figures and graphical abstracts to intricate, technically precise schematics—with a strong emphasis on clarity and impact. SERVICES • Comprehensive data assessment, scientific writing, and synthesis for literature reviews and full-length manuscripts. • Systematic experimental strategy development and rigorous study design for grant proposals. • Generation of informative, publication‑ready preliminary data visualizations and graphical outputs. • Conception and optimization of precise technical schematics, process diagrams, and illustrative workflows. TECHNICAL SKILLS • Microsoft Word, LaTeX, and Zotero • Affinity Designer, Adobe Illustrator, and BioRender • AutoCAD, SolidWorks, KLayout, and KiCAD • MATLAB and Python
