I currently serve as an Instructor at Johns Hopkins Medical Institutes in the Radiological Physics Division of the Russell H. Morgan Department of Radiology and Radiological Science. I collaborate closely with Dr. Yong Du in the Quantitative Imaging Biomarker (QIB) Lab within the Radiology Department, as well as with Drs. Aaron Carass and Jerry Prince in the Image Analysis and Communications Lab (IACL) in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. I also maintain an informal affiliation with KU Lab under the PI, Dr. Katsuyuki “Ken” Taguchi, in the Radiology Department.

My academic journey at Johns Hopkins University spanned from 2017 to 2022, culminating in a Ph.D. under the mentorship of Dr. Eric C. Frey. I hold dual B.Sc. degrees with Summa Cum Laude honors in Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering from North Carolina State University (2017), along with M.S.E. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical & Computer Engineering from Johns Hopkins University (2019 and 2022, respectively).

In a significant career milestone, I was honored to be selected for the 2024 Forbes 30 Under 30 in Healthcare (see the full list here). This recognition underscores my dedication and the invaluable collaborations at the Radiological Physics Division and Johns Hopkins University. I extend profound gratitude to Drs. Eric Frey, Yong Du, and George Sgouros for their unwavering support and guidance in my professional growth.
