Overview
I am a clinical fellow in neuroradiology and pediatric neuroradiology at Harvard Medical School. My educational journey includes completing a radiology residency at Yale New Haven Hospital, earning the B. Leonard Holman Fellowship from the American Board of Radiology, and obtaining a PhD in data science and artificial intelligence from Yale University. My research interests focus on fetal imaging, human brain development during the fetal period and its anomalies, and the integration of advanced MRI technologies and artificial intelligence into clinical practice. After completing my fellowship training, I aim to join an academic pediatric hospital as faculty, ideally under a K, R21, or R01 grant, with a split between research and clinical duties. I am driven to build a career as a clinician-scientist, addressing challenging problems at the intersection of fetal and neonatal medicine, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence.

Outside work, I enjoy competitive ballroom dance (competing in gold syllabus for Harvard Ballroom Dance Team), calisthenics, paddle boarding, long-distance biking, tennis, and poetry.

Featured Content

Bibliographic
Publications listed below are automatically derived from MEDLINE/PubMed and other sources, which might result in incorrect or missing publications. Faculty can login to make corrections and additions.
Newest   |   Oldest   |   Most Cited   |   Most Discussed   |   Timeline   |   Field Summary   |   Plain Text
PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
