Computational research assistant that focuses on analysis of genomics data. I am interested in applying imaging data in machine learning and integrating imaging with genomics. I am currently in the masters program to get better understanding of how medical imaging is done and it's applications in research

I am a part-time master's student in Master of Imaging Science (MIS) and also work as a lab manager. The MIS program has been incredibly beneficial for me, fitting seamlessly into my schedule while providing opportunities for personal and professional growth. It allows me to enhance my skills and knowledge while I continue my work in the lab.

I work to visualize high resolution structures of various biological samples, including neuronal cells, bacterial cells and purified proteins, using cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM).

I am interested in MRI, including structural and functional MRI. 

My current projects include: (1) develop a cell-size-based MRI method to differentiate recurrent brain metastases from radiation necrosis induced by stereotactic radiosurgery. (2) develop practical diffusion MRI technique for estimating the brain microstructure. (3) use advanced MRI technology to explore mechanisms of neurological diseases
