I’m a fourth-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University, under supervision of Professor Cynthia Rudin. Before Duke, I received my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

My research focuses on developing robust and interpretable deep learning models for high-stakes applications such as disease detection and diagnostics. I aim to advance the transparency and reliability of deep learning algorithms.
