Biography
I completed residency training and a PhD at the University of Oxford, United Kingdom, leading to Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. I then completed the Society of Endourology Robotic Surgery and Minimally Invasive Urology Oncology fellowship at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center 2025-2026.
I underwent integrated and academic and clinical training at Oxford with experience in clinical research focused on patient optimization before cancer surgery as part of my PhD. I also researched software able to analyze kidney stones to guide treatment. I continued my research as postdoctoral researcher at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Harvard Medical School into outcomes for patients undergoing prostate cancer surgery.
