Hello 👋 I’m a research assistant with a passion for AI, computer vision and medicine.

My research is about deep learning based harmonization of MRI data.

At the Predictive Neuroscience Lab, I’m excited about contributing to our team’s efforts in leveraging AI to tackle complex neuroscience challenges.

My research focuses on developing deep learning-based methods for harmonizing MRI data across different sites. This harmonization process is designed to address batch effects — variations in data that arise from differences in scanner equipment or imaging protocols. These batch effects can introduce significant biases into multi-site MRI studies, making it challenging to draw reliable conclusions from downstream analyses. By mitigating these effects, we aim to enhance the generalizability and reproducibility of analysis findings in multi-site MRI studies.
