About
Three countries. Six schools. One line through research, systems, and the clubs that teach the next cohort. I build with AI where the stakes are real — cardiac imaging, fraud detection, dental diagnosis, urban heat — and I write about where the technology is going.

Research
Published and in review.
Two published papers, a first-author Harvard Medical School submission to SPIE Medical Imaging, and an ML study on pancreatic cancer metastasis.
A Fluid–Structure-Coupled Physics-Informed Neural Operator for Intraventricular Vector Flow Mapping from Color Doppler Echocardiography
Color Doppler only measures blood velocity along the ultrasound beam. Existing methods rebuild the full flow field by fitting a new network to every scan, which takes minutes. This work trains coupled fluid and wall-motion neural operators once, then reconstructs an unseen case in a single ~31 ms pass while enforcing the physics and inferring the moving heart wall instead of importing it.
- Speed
- ~31 ms per case, ~4 orders of magnitude faster
- In-vivo velocity
- R² 0.719 held-out exams
- Cross-beam velocity
- R² 0.944 vs 0.54 per-case fitting
- Pressure
- R² 0.998 Taylor–Green, vs 0.92
