| When looking at my life over the past seventeen years, three major aspects seem to come clearly. First and foremost is my passion towards science. I have always enjoyed science and it has been one of my passions. I have participated at CWSF, in 2007 (Truro, Nova Scotia), 2008 (Ottawa, Ontario). I am also a SMARTS Coordinator for my home town Ottawa and a SMARTS school representative. Secondly sports, I have always enjoyed sports. It helps me maintain an active and healthy lifestyle. Some sports that I enjoy to play are badminton and volleyball. Thirdly, family and friends, this would not be possible without their continuous support and help. These three vital aspects of my life I believe make me a well round individual and pursue me to work harder and achieve better standards. |

I identified a novel microstructure hollow fiber membrane and tested its bioengineering properties. Morphological studies indicated that Dip Coated Tubes dissolved in less than three weeks. Therefore, new copolymers, Microsphere Tubes were designed. Clinical research using a rat model yielded positive results. MRI studies using optimized iron particles as a reference marker were performed. |
