About

Hi! I am a PhD candidate at AIM lab - Harvard MGB and Executive Officer at the MICCAI Student Board.

Previously, I was a Tech Consultant in AI&DL at Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Prior to joining AIM, I did my master's in Biomedical Computing at TU Munich. During my studies, I spent a year as a Visiting Scholar at Johns Hopkins University in ARCADE lab; worked as a Research assistant at MITI in Klinikum Rechts de Isar; worked at ScintHealth (IFL Lab), and took part in MedInnovate Graduate Programm where VizCare was born. I did my Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering at NTUU "KPI".

My main research interests are computer-aided medical procedures and deep learning for medicine. More broadly, I am interested in computer vision, machine learning, and image processing.
