Biography
At the Royal Military Academy, our team develops advanced simulations to enhance medical response during Mass Casualty Incidents. With over three years of experience, my work focuses on creating robust platforms that offer tactical and operational feedback for both military and civilian applications. The goal is transforming research into operational tools for medical planning and command and control, ensuring readiness and efficiency in crisis situations.
My expertise in computational materials science and computer simulations is grounded in a strong physics background, with specific competencies in modeling complex systems. With the support of colleagues, we strive to optimize healthcare delivery in the field, contributing to the overarching mission of saving lives and improving medical outcomes. Our work stands at the intersection of technology and healthcare, reflecting a dedicated pursuit of excellence in simulation-based solutions.
