Graduate Program:
Biomedical Informatics
Research Interests:
Machine learning and artificial intelligence offer great promise in understanding and solving medical mysteries. Computational power is the key to utilizing the abundance of medical data. Previously, I worked in the Davis Lab at Emory University, where I studied transcriptomic changes in response to Fontan surgery. Broadly, I am interested in computational medicine and computational neuroscience, as well as machine learning theory and bioinformatics.
