Biography

I started my PhD journey in 2018 at the Image Analysis and Communications Lab (IACL), Johns Hopkins University. My advisor is Dr. Jerry Prince. I was also co-affiliated with the Laboratory of Behavioral Neuroscience, National Institute on Aging (NIA) from 2019--2023, under the supervision of Drs. Susan Resnick and Murat Bilgel. I specialize in pioneering MRI harmonization techniques that facilitate our understanding of brain aging and treatment methods for multiple sclerosis (MS). I have published three book chapters and over 30 journal and conference articles. My works have been recognized internationally, including the Best MS Research Award (nomination) at CMSC 2023, Best Paper at DALI-MICCAI 2022, Best Poster at IPMI 2021, Best Paper at SPIE 2020, and Scientific Director Award at NIA Intramural Research Retreat 2020. Beyond my own research, I deeply value the power of knowledge sharing. I have served as a research mentor of the NSF REU program, a research mentor of the IACL, and a four time teaching assistant. I constantly seek and welcome collaborative opportunities that stimulate learning within the realm of medical imaging.
