Our paper, “The Challenge of Rendering Abnormalities Accurately Using Deep Learning-Based Reconstruction in Accelerated Brain MRI,” was published online in Investigative Radiology.
About
I am a PhD candidate in Biological and Biomedical Sciences, Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Technology (AIET), in the Windreich Department of Artificial Intelligence and Human Health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
My research focuses on computational pathology, foundation-model evaluation and adaptation, weakly supervised learning, and clinically grounded model validation. I study how models generalize across cohorts, tissue types, clinical tasks, and demographic groups.
