Biography

I am a PhD student at University of Toronto advised by Prof. Anna Goldenberg and Prof. Rahul Krishnan. I am also affiliated with Vector Institute and Sickkids Hostpital. I am interested in applying machine learning to healthcare and biomedical problems. In addition to exploring new ML algorithms, I am also interested in learning how existing ML algorithms work on real-world datasets.

Before joining U of T, I was a Research Assistant at Microsoft Research Biomedical ML group. I did my master’s in University of Waterloo advised by Prof. Olga Veksler working on vision problems. Prior to that, I did my undergrad in CS and Math in Union College.
