“A theory is something nobody believes, except the person who made it. An experiment is something everybody believes, except the person who made it.”

- Albert Einstein

As an aspiring academic physician, my current research interests are broad in hopes of obtaining more experience, education, and clinical intuition. With time and the advent of my life-long theses, I hope to focus my endeavors.
