I am currently a software engineer at Google. I joined the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University as a Ph.D. student in Fall 2019. I worked as a research assistant at the Video and Image Processing Laboratory (VIPER) advised by Professor Edward. J. Delp. My research focuses on three-dimensional fluorescence microscopy image analysis, and I am particularly interested in computer vision and deep learning algorithms.

Before that I obtained my M.S. degree in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University Northwest in May 2019.
