Hi! I’m a second year PhD student in the Department of Biomedical Data Science at Stanford University where I am fortunate to be advised by Emily Alsentzer and Serena Yeung-Levy. My current research interests lie at the intersection of machine learning, computer vision, and representation learning and their applications to healthcare and medical imaging. My work is supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.
I previously completed my B.S and M.Eng in Computer Science at MIT, where I was advised by Prof. John Guttag. In the past, I have worked on clinical informatics problems using traditional statistical machine learning approaches for tasks like clinical trial recruitment and probabilistic phenotyping.
Outside of research, I love to travel and I’m a huge fan of strategy and card games — ask me anything about polytopia, catan, dominion, poker, guan dan, da guai lu zi :)
