About

Currently, my research focuses on developing neural network and machine learning algorithms, with a particular emphasis on practical applications in medical image analysis. This includes image registration, segmentation, classification, and solving inverse problems. I am passionately dedicated to building Ultrahand, an innovative neuralized tool designed to bridge the gap between human and machine intelligence, enhancing clinical translations and outcomes.
