My current research focuses on preventing the transition from acute to chronic postsurgical pain and identifying strategies to mitigate the risks of opioid-related harms. As a research assistant for Dr. Martin Cheatle in the Department of Psychiatry, I am also working on projects examining the clinical intersections of various types of chronic pain, opioid use disorder, and related psychological factors. My ultimate goal is to identify optimal strategies that achieve effective pain management while preventing addiction in patients living with pain.

To further enhance my research skills, I am pursuing a Biomedical Informatics Certificate through the Perelman School of Medicine, with a focus on developing machine learning algorithms to predict opioid use disorder in patients living with chronic pain. I am currently preparing to submit a grant application to the National Institutes of Health in 2025.
