I’m a postdoctoral research fellow at Vanderbilt University. I develop methods that make biomedical measurements trustworthy, complete, and informative.
I work in the MASI Lab with Bennett Landman. Before Vanderbilt, I did my Ph.D. at Johns Hopkins with Jerry Prince, and spent four years as a predoctoral fellow at the National Institute on Aging with Susan Resnick during my PhD. This fall I’m teaching ECE 6357 Advanced Image Processing.
