About

I am incoming PhD student in the Computer Science and Informatics (CSI) program at Emory University. I am 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 reliable visual computing in medical settings. Before joining Emory, I received my M.S. from Johns Hopkins University and my B.S. from Brandeis University.
