Personal profile
Research interests
I am a physicist specializing in digital twins, multiphysics simulation, and biophotonics, developing physics-based models for healthcare and forensic applications. My work focuses on translating complex physical simulations into quantitative decision-support tools, including time-since-death estimation and personalized light-based therapies.
