Thanks Waterloo's Cheriton School of Computer Science! I am pleased to announce that I will be joining UPEI SMCS University of PEI as an Assistant Professor in July. I would like to thank my alma maters University of Waterloo Western University, and my supervisors Dr. Lila Kari and Dr. Kathleen Hill @KHillResearch for their continuous support.

Exciting news! We are looking for a post-doctoral fellow to work with us on understanding the toxicity of PFAS using liver organoids and high throughput transcriptomics at Health Canada. Opportunity of a lifetime - direct research-regulatory partnership. DM me for details!

HardTech is challenging, and HardTech for agriculture is even more so. Our research project aims to detect potato virus Y in plants. The infected plants show subtle mosaic and necrosis symptoms that are not visible in bright sunlight. To address this, we installed shading

Last year, I started my MSc at University of PEI under the supervision of Dr. Aitazaz Farooque and Dr. Gurjit Randhawa. My passion for AgTech found a perfect match in a groundbreaking research project, and I feel truly fortunate to be a part of it. This project has been both challenging
