Ehsan Misaghi
Nice to e-meet you! I’m Ehsan, but you can also call me Ethan! I have degrees in Biomedical and Electrical Engineering, and in Neuroscience. Currently, I am an MD/PhD student (so, soon-to-be clinician-scientist, coming to a hospital near you) at the University of Alberta, in Canada, studying medicine and doing genetics research. I also dabble in programming and AI, the field that’s gonna replace us all with machines (jk it won’t)! Feel free to browse my site and contact me with questions or comments!
