Programming & Software Development

Web Full Stack and Data Science Intensive Courses @ Digital House Coding School

After taking the Full Stack course, I gained web development skills in both Front End (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) for visual and interactive aspects, and Back End (Python, PHP) for database connection and functionality creation With DS course, I learned Python and its libraries for data manipulation, and trained on data analysis, visualization, and inferential statistics. I got in touch with machine learning methodology, including regression and classification, as well as more advanced techniques like decision trees, ensemble models, including time series. The final project was on model deployment and API integration.

Image-Guided Minimally Invasive Surgery

IHU Strasbourg & ircad - Joint Research Fellowship Program

Through this program, I have acquired an in-depth understanding of advanced medical imaging and image-guided therapies, particularly in the field of HBP, leading to a shift in my perspective from diagnostics to a procedural approach. Furthermore, it has allowed me to develop expertise in healthcare innovation, medical device and software development. Based on this knowledge, I have focused my research interests on enhancing needle-based image-guided ablation therapies for the liver and pancreas through the integration of novel software solutions and innovative medical devices.
