I’m an Educator, Computer Engineer, and Computer Scientist with a passion for teaching and learning. I’m always striving to master and teach cutting-edge technology while balancing intellectual curiosity with practical application.

More Information

Where I Teach

  • Sierra College in Rocklin, CA
  • California State University, Sacramento

Classes that I Teach

  • Introduction to Computer Science.
  • Introduction to Programming Logic.
  • Programming Concepts and Methodology.
  • Introduction to Computer Architecture.

Research Interests

  • Edge AI
    • Next-Generation Healthcare Devices: Research on real-time disease monitoring and management tools, such as artificial pancreas systems that autonomously regulate insulin levels and advanced wearable devices that provide continuous health insights.
    • Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs): Explore devices that link the human brain with edge-based AI hardware/software to treat neurological conditions and restore lost motor function (e.g., stroke rehabilitation), offering more responsive and personalized care.
    • Ultra-low-cost point-of-care (POC) devices: Explore devices that require minimal infrastructure and little or no electricity to enable Community Health Care Workers (CHCW) to diagnose diseases quickly in rural, resource-limited regions of the world.
    • Autonomous Vehicles: Combine AI and Peer-to-Peer networking technologies to avoid collisions or near collisions. Similar to the Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) used in aviation.
  • Deep Learning
    • Computer Vision: Investigation of state-of-the-art visual recognition and interpretation techniques, particularly for applications like medical imaging diagnostics, automated anomaly detection, and advanced object recognition.
    • Healthcare Applications: Develop deep learning models for predictive analytics, personalized treatment planning, early disease detection, and optimizing patient outcomes.
  • AI Modeling of Complex Biological Processes
    • Autoimmune Response Modeling: Creation of sophisticated computational frameworks to simulate, analyze, and predict autoimmune reactions, contributing to the design of novel diagnostic tools, targeted therapies, and precision medicine approaches.
  • Complexity and Chaos Theory
    • Explore how non-linear dynamics, emergent behaviors, and feedback loops shape complex systems.
    • Apply these concepts to model and predict human, biological, and environmental phenomena.
