How/Why Research? My research interests come from me having a strong interest in medicine and engineering, and wanting to take a computational approach to creating solutions for diagnosing and treating debilitating, particularly neurological, disorders. Getting involved in this type of research at Carolina was a lot of independent learning, putting myself out there, and interacting with faculty to learn more about the space.
Research Experience: My research has involved using computer vision, machine learning, natural language processing, and generative AI for applications in radiology and protein engineering. Essentially, I apply computational techniques to diagnose neurological disorders from an MRI, or engineer novel proteins or predict their properties, which helps in streamlining the process of diagnosis for radiologists and expanding possibilities for protein engineering.
