I build computer vision and machine learning methods for complex health data, with applications in medical imaging, cardiology, and human movement. My work focuses on turning high-dimensional, multimodal measurements into reliable and clinically relevant insights.

About

I am a PhD candidate in Mechanical Engineering at MIT, where I develop computer vision and deep learning tools for health and medicine. My current research focuses on efficiently propagating annotations across images and video frames, as well as tracking anatomical motion in ultrasound videos to extract dynamic measures that can inform clinical assessment and our understanding of health and well-being. I also develop machine learning methods for problems in cardiology and human movement, often using complex, multimodal data. Complementing this work, I hold a master’s degree in control and robotics, which brings a perspective on dynamics, control, and embodied systems to my training in vision and learning. Throughout my work, I aim to contribute to solutions that are reliable in real-world data and produce insights that researchers and clinicians can interpret and use.
