words I live by: Romans 5:3-6

...we rejoice in our sufferings
knowing that suffering produces endurance,
and endurance produces character,
and character produces hope,
and hope does not disappoint us...

WHO?

Very simply, I am a graduate student doing my Master's of Engineering at McGill University. My Bachelor's of Science degree, also done at McGill (I'm a creature of habit), was a joint major in Physics and Physiology.


WHAT?

I am currently designing a fully automatic means of performing the analysis of data obtained from human skeletal muscle using phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy. If used in a clinical environment, this automated analysis is desirable in terms of maximizing time efficiency and minimizing error.
Included in this analysis method, is a means of modeling the complex recovery behavior of post-exercise adenosine diphosphate. The recovery of calculated cytosolic [ADP] is known to be one of the most sensitive magnetic resonance spectroscopy indices of mitochondrial dysfunction in vivo.


WHERE?

You can find me at The Montreal Neurological Institute. Although I spend most of my time working in a windowless room of the sub-sub-sub-basement of this institution, I have been found at ground-level torturing a poor defenseless piano, and three floors up and south hanging out at Lyman Duff, the home of Biomedical Engineering at McGill.

WHEN?

Now is always good.

WHY?

I knew in a previous life, but I don't recall now.

HOW?

Work bloody hard at it!
