Welcome! Bienvenue!

I am an Assistant Professor at Carleton University in the Department of Systems and Computer Engineering. My research interests are primarily in the areas of image analysis, extracellular matrix remodelling, and 3D-bioprinting. The tools we develop at the Tissue Engineering and BioImaging (TEB) Lab are useful in answering relevant biological questions related to assessing tissue function during normal and disease processes and in response to treatments.

We are also core members of the Tissue Engineering and Applied Materials (TEAM) Hub.

Welcome, and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or interest in collaborating with us or joining the lab.
