I’m one of the integrated Cardiothoracic Surgery residents at the University of Pennsylvania. I completed a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship in the department of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Stanford University. I worked in the Hiesinger Lab where we wrote code in an effort to understand cardiovascular disease. I am interested in building novel deep learning representation learners for cardiovascular imaging (echocardiography and cardiac MRI). In the lab we also studied the underlying mechanisms of cardiovascular disease using transcriptomics, and design devices for patients with severe heart failure. My work was funded by the American Heart Association postdoctoral fellowship award. A list of my publications and patents are available on google scholar.
