Biography

I’m an ophthalmologist by training with a subspecialty in glaucoma. I’m working to improve the way we approach eye diseases as clinicians by building a bridge between computer scientists, engineers, and medical doctors, across academia and industry. I’m building a startup focused on remote eye health through the Cornell Tech Runway Startup program. Fighting blindness one multidisciplinary step at a time!
