I am a Postdoctoral Scholar at the Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute, University of Southern California. I received my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from USC (2023), building methods for large-scale diffusion MRI harmonization, groupwise tractography filtering, and related medical image analysis problems.
My current work focuses on medical image harmonization across imaging sources, machine learning for white matter segmentation, and multimodal integration to support reliable, interpretable neuroimaging analyses in collaborative research settings.
I am also interested in statistical methodology for imaging-based studies and in releasing software that makes advanced pipelines easier to use in collaborative research settings.

Research
Harmonization & Connectomics
Methods to reduce scanner- and site-related bias in large-scale diffusion MRI cohorts, together with tractography tools that improve bundle consistency across subjects (e.g., groupwise filtering).
Multimodal MRI Integration
Methods that combine complementary imaging signals to improve consistency and interpretability across acquisition protocols and analysis pipelines.
Machine Learning for Segmentation
Deep learning models for structural segmentation (including spine MRI) and software-oriented pipelines that translate methods into usable research tools.
