About Me

I am a Computer Science PhD student at Vanderbilt University, working with Dr. Ipek Oguz in the Medical Image Computing Lab (MedICL). My research is also affiliated with the Vanderbilt Institute for Surgery and Engineering (VISE). I previously graduated summa cum laude with a B.S. in Computer Science from California Baptist University.

Previously, I was a Software Engineer at GE Vernova, where I led our wildfire forecasting initiative and co-led a company-wide initiative to integrate Generative AI into GEV’s Electrification Software products.

Current Work

My research broadly spans Deep Learning, but my current focus is image restoration and generation, particularly in the medical domain. I’m also interested in how learned representations can maintain robustness across diverse imaging tasks under limited supervision.

I am currently using deep learning and representation learning to restore high-resolution 3D OCT Angiography volumes affected by motion corruption.
