My work aligns closely with VALIANT’s commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation in
AI, particularly in the context of medical imaging and image analysis. Throughout my career, I have focused on developing MRI harmonization techniques aimed at improving the understanding of brain aging and enhancing diagnosis and treatment for people with multiple sclerosis (MS). I hold a Ph.D. in
Electrical and Computer Engineering from Johns Hopkins University, where I worked closely with neurologists and engineers to develop tools for understanding MS in clinics. My research has led to significant advancements in unsupervised MR image harmonization. Moreover, I was a Pre-doctoral Intramural Research Fellow at NIH’s Laboratory of Behavioral Neuroscience, which provides great experience about neuroscience. I have published more than 40 publications, chaired multiple conferences, and my work has been acknowledged by multiple awards. By joining VALIANT, I am eager to expand on my knowledge between AI and healthcare through learning and collaboration to broaden the impact of translational research.
