Team
I collaborate with clinicians, engineers, and scientists across imaging, computation, and musculoskeletal biology. I’m always excited to work with curious, kind, and rigorous people.
Want to connect? I’m happy to chat about collaboration ideas, mentoring opportunities, or project scoping; the fastest way is via email on the Contact page.
Principal investigator
Collaboration & mentorship
Collaboration
I partner on projects involving:
- spatial histopathology + AI
- medical imaging (MRI/CT) + radiomics
- transcriptomics and multi-omics integration
- reproducible analysis pipelines
Mentorship
If you’re interested in collaborating or mentoring opportunities, I’m happy to chat and help define a project with clear scope and measurable deliverables.
