I'm currently in my last year of a Bachelor of Science degree in Anatomy and Cell Biology. I guess the cell biology part of my degree somehow relates with the technical aspects of our project...how the anatomy part fits in... I'm not quite sure yet.

I've been somewhat of a global nomad my whole life, having lived in four different countries before finally settling down for the last 3 years, in Montreal. A great chunk of my childhood, 16 years in fact, was spent in the sunny, desert plains of Qatar, in the Middle East. I've also lived in India, France and Saudi Arabia.

Other than growing and killing E. coli bacteria, I'm a self confessed sports fanatic and a lifelong fan of Arsenal FC (soccer club), I enjoy playing tennis, squash and soccer. I also enjoy listening to a wide variety of music, ranging from alternative rock like Radiohead and The Smashing Pumpkins, to classical music and arias from various operas.

In the long run, I hope to stay in science, however, concentrating in industrial research and development, and hopefully start my own biotechnology company one day.
