About

I am currently a diagnostic radiology resident at NYU. I got my bachelor and master of science in engineering at the University of Pennsylvania and my MD PhD at Mount Sinai. I completed my intern year at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

My goal is to become a radiologist who can improve implementation of machine learning techniques in clinical practice. I have research experiences in molecular imaging, radiation physics, computer vision, and artificial intelligence. I have been published in NeurIPS Proceedings (PMLR), Radiology: Artificial Intelligence (cover article Volume 3 Issue 2), Nature Medicine, Pediatrics, and more.

I fell in love with radiology, an exceptional intersection of technology and medicine, during a signals course lecture given by Andrew Maidment at The University of Pennsylvania. I completed my senior design project with him and developed methods to quantify and incorporate super resolution in digital breast tomosynthesis. I completed my master's thesis with Marni Falk at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and developed a technique to automate quantitation of fluorescent markers of mitochondrial physiology.

During my PhD training with Anthony Costa and Eric Oermann at Mount Sinai, I focused on developing an objective, quantitative metric to evaluate diagnostic utility of generative ML algorithms. I was part of an international federated learning project to improve the generalizability of a COVID-19 prognostication algorithm. I am continuing to work with Eric as a postdoc at the NYU OLAB to build standardized radiology datasets and improve deployment of machine learning techniques to clinical practice.
