Research Focus

My research focuses on advancing personalized medicine in voice and upper airway dysfunctions through the development of biological computing, point-of-care diagnostics, regenerative biomaterials and Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). My team is developing non-invasive assessment of airway reflux, designing 3D printable biomaterial for laryngeal tissue and muscle reconstruction and creating wearable e-health devices for voice and upper airway monitoring. My work is funded by a Canada Research Chair, the CIHR, NSERC, SSHRC and FRQS, and by NIH in the United States.
