I have a multidisciplinary academic background, holding a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering and a Master’s degree in Computer Science, and I am currently pursuing a second Master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering.
I work as a Research Assistant at the Healthcare Education and Competence Lab (HealthEduCom), where I contribute to multiple research projects. My work focuses on studying and developing the use of virtual and extended reality (VR/XR) and artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare education.
In parallel, I am working on my second master’s thesis on VR-based trauma training (VRTrauma). This research examines how immersive VR trauma training environments can enhance patient care while reducing stress and cognitive load among healthcare students and professionals.
