I'm an Interventional & Diagnostic Radiology Resident at the University of Miami/Jackson Health System, passionate about merging cutting-edge medical imaging with artificial intelligence. My journey spans from biomedical engineering to medicine, fueling a unique perspective on healthcare innovation.
With a background in deep learning research, organ-on-chip technology, and clinical medicine, I'm dedicated to advancing minimally invasive procedures and developing AI-driven diagnostic tools that improve patient outcomes. My research focuses on leveraging machine learning to enhance breast tumor classification and reduce false positives in MRI imaging.
