About Me
I am a Ph.D. student in Electrical Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin advised by Atlas Wang. As part of the Visual Informatics @ UT Austin (VITA) group, I develop deep learning and computer vision techniques to solve clinical decision-making and medical image analysis problems. My research is funded by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP). [CV]
Previously, I have worked with the Medical Imaging and Data Integration (MIDI) Lab at Michigan State University under Adam Alessio on multimodal learning for breast cancer prediction and pediatric rib fracture detection.
