Innovative Engineering Solutions by Amirali Monz
My scholarly work spans surgical innovation, biomedical engineering, and computational biology. From AI-driven clinical tools to foundational research in developmental biology, these projects reflect a commitment to translating scientific insight into meaningful impact — in the operating room, the classroom, and beyond.
