Silver Spring, Maryland, November 2023 [image: receiving the award from Dr. Califf] This one still feels surreal to write about. I was honored with the Chief Scientist Publication Award for Significant Outreach, presented by Robert M. Califf, M.D., Commissioner of Food and Drugs, as part of the FDA's Scientific Achievement Awards. It's an agency-wide honor, and receiving it directly from the Commissioner himself was one of the greatest scientific accomplishments of my career

Silver Spring, Maryland, June 21, 2021 On 6/21/2021, I represented CDRH during a tour for the Senate Appropriations Committee, alongside Jeff Shuren (Director, CDRH), Ed Margerrison (Director, Office of Science and Engineering Laboratories, OSEL), and Ellenor Brown (CDRH/OSEL/DBP). It was an incredible honor to be one of only four people representing the entire Center that day, and to meet people from Congress- to greet and shake the hand of Senator Baldwin, and to personally

Virtual, August 2020 This was my first time being invited as a panelist, hosted by MedVR alongside Boston University School of Medicine and UMass Medical School. The panel was moderated by Irena Cronin (co-author of The Infinite Retina) and included Dr. Okeanis Vaou, a neurologist specializing in movement disorders, and Julie LeMoine, a technologist and PhD candidate working at the intersection of XR and healthcare. Together we covered spatial computing in healthcare from thr

Silver Spring, Maryland, March 5, 2020 This one was a bit different. I wasn't just presenting, I was one of the main event coordinators for the entire public workshop, Medical Extended Reality: Toward Best Evaluation Practices for Virtual and Augmented Reality in Medicine, hosted at the FDA White Oak campus. The goal of the day was to bring together industry, academia, and government to discuss evaluation techniques for XR hardware and software, identify critical gaps in the

Silver Spring, Maryland September 11, 2019 - September 12, 2019 This event was open to the public and the press to highlight the range and depth of cutting-edge science and technology being researched and applied across the Agency. The Forum gives our stakeholders in industry, academia, sister government agencies, and patient advocacy groups a change to learn about opportunities to collaborate with FDA - and to see firsthand the diverse regulatory science expertise we bring t

Silver Spring, Maryland July 12, 2019 Augmented & Virtual Reality in Medicine This was my first seminar talk (a step up from poster presentations) given live and in-person to the FDA Fellows Association. It was great practice, and even better, I had an audience of fellow fellows who were also just starting their research careers at the FDA, which made it a nice opportunity to see what everyone else across the Agency was working on. I'm in the Center for Devices and Radiologic

Washington, D.C. June 17, 2019 - June 19, 2019 Poster Session Day 1 As the user community for gaming engines such as Unity expands to include the medical community diving into the world of extended reality (XR), so does the need for a framework to understand the engine's underlying rendering properties. For instance, 3D visualization approaches for diagnostic imaging using X-rays require predictable color stimuli and compliance to a target model (typically, the DICOM Grayscal
