About

I am a first-year PhD student in the Computer Science and Informatics (CSI) program at Emory University, advised by Prof. Youngjoong Kwon. My research will focus on computer graphics and 3D reconstruction. Prior to this, I worked on natural language processing and AI for healthcare. My broad interest is in useful ai for medical settings. Before joining Emory, I received my M.S. from Johns Hopkins University and my B.S. from Brandeis University.
