Biography

I am a postdoctoral researcher mentored by Dr. Rebecca A. Hubabrd and Dr. Kristin A. Linn in the Statistics for EHR lab at University of Pennsylvania. I am a member of Penn Statistics in Imaging and Visualization Endeavor (PennSIVE) center. My methodological work focuses on developing and applying deep learning approaches that facilitate precision medicine and equitably improve health outcomes. Specifically, I develope deep generative models to generate 3D strucutral Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images.

I obtained my PhD in Industrial Engineering at Northeastern University in 2022, under the supervision of Prof. Mohsen Moghaddam and Prof. Sagar Karmathi. My work focused on the development and application of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) in user-centered product development.

My research interests include but is not limited to:

• Methodology: Generative AI models; Fairness in AI; Multimodal learning; Transfer learning; Natural Language Processing
• Application: Healthcare, Bioinformatics, Manufacturing (User-Centered Design)
