ResearchInterests
I have broad interests in imaging informatics, image registration, image segmentation,and machine learning classification as it applies to medical images. Specifically, I aminterested in longitudinal image analysis and classification of diseases relating to aging.I hope that my line of investigation will lead to development of automated methodsfor detection and classification of chronic diseases using noninvasive imaging modalitiessuch as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scans.

Awards Student Awards• NIH/NIA Intramural Research Training Award (IRTA) Summer Internship 2015• The NIH Summer Internship Program (SIP) is intended to provide students
with a full-time biomedical research experience. My 10-weeks research was withthe Laboratory for Epidemiology and Population Science (LEPS) performingPrincipal Component Analysis (PCA) of voxel-based morphometry (VBM) andvoxel Bone Mineral Density (vBMD) on vQCT data of the proximal femur inrelation to female hip fracture.
