About

I'm a Ph.D. candidate at MIT EECS in the Computational Cardiovascular Research Group, where I build machine learning models for cardiovascular health monitoring from multimodal clinical data — waveform, imaging, text, and EHR. My work centers on self-supervised and representation learning methods for phenotyping, disease prediction, and patient stratification at scale.

Before MIT, I worked in the Trayanova Lab at Johns Hopkins — part-time throughout undergrad, then full-time for a year after graduating — while earning my B.S. and M.S.E. in Biomedical Engineering.
