About me

I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University, with a broad interests in medical imaging and AI methods. I am fortunate to be co-advised by Dr. Ali Uneri, Dr. Craig Jones, and Dr. Jeffrey Siewerdsen.  I am affiliated with the Imaging for Surgery, Therapy, and Radiology (I-STAR) Lab, and the Carnegie Center for Surgical Innovation.

I earned my M.S. in Robotics from Johns Hopkins University, where I had the privilege of working with Dr. Mathias Unberath and Dr. Cong Gao. Prior to that, I completed my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Washington, Seattle, collaborating with Dr. Sawyer Fuller during my undergraduate studies.
