ððī Born and raised in West Africa, ðâïļ I ventured to the US for my studies and found myself immersed in the world of biology. ð§ŽðŽ With a bachelor's degree in biology and a master's in biomedical science, I dove headfirst into the fascinating realm of biomedical engineering as a PhD candidate. ðð§ ðŧ Stem cell biology, bioengineering, and neuroscience captured my attention, igniting my scientific passion like a ðĨ. When I'm not tinkering in the lab, I find joy in coding for fun, creating mind-boggling visualizations ðððĪŊ, and analyzing high-dimensional data using machine learning. ðĨïļð§Đ My love for coding is only rivaled by my enthusiasm for the art of fencing ðĪš, capturing moments through photography ðļ, and appreciating the richness of African art ðĻð. Music plays a major role in my life, and I find solace in the soulful melodies of jazz and blues ð·ðķ. As a self-proclaimed coffee snob â, I take pleasure in savoring the perfect cup of joe â, fueling my intellectual pursuits.
