Developing deep learning techniques for ultrafast optical tomography image reconstruction, with the goal of implementing the algorithms for real time imaging in optical imaging devices and wearables.

Worked in an outreach program through the Boston University College of Engineering to encourage grade students to enter STEM fields. As an ambassador I educated students on cutting-edge technology through engineering design challenges and created engineering demos to present to the classroom in order to promote STEM to underrepresented areas and act as a resource to other students.

My research projects focused on validating spatial frequency domain imaging (SFDI) as a preclinical imaging tool for monitoring chemotherapy response. I performed optical property reconstruction and image processing for a large set of murine tumors imaged with SFDI. I also developed image analysis algorithms on ImageJ in order to optimize image processing. From my work, SFDI derived optical values could be correlated to biological markers, and a new mechanism for tracking treatment response in preclinical models was determined.
