My background, both personal and professional, drives my passion for medical physics. Growing up in Nepal, I witnessed the struggles of cancer patients in under-resourced healthcare systems. The recent loss of my cousin to late-diagnosed cancer has reinforced my commitment to improving diagnostic and treatment technologies. Additionally, my wife’s experiences as a nurse have provided me with valuable insight into the challenges faced by healthcare professionals. Together, these experiences inspire me to pursue research that can directly impact patient outcomes and strengthen Canada’s healthcare system.
