CEO and Founder of Homni Health Solutions, a health tech company
Spun out of my PhD work, we developed deep learning models to detect neurologic deficits from video and audio using an iPad. We used this tech to help detect strokes faster out in the world, particularly in rural areas without easy access to hospitals.
A postdoctoral scientist at UC San Diego
Biomedical Informatics
I worked at the intersection of:
-
Bleeding Edge Tech - applied deep learning, mixed reality
-
Medicine - neurological disorders, informatics, mHealth
-
HCI and Design - doctor-AI interaction, UI/UX design
I finished my PhD in Bioengineering at UC San Diego in 2020, where I was a Siebel Scholar and NSF Graduate Research Fellow. My dissertation was Human-Centered Machine Learning for Healthcare: Examples in Neurology and Pulmonology; I received the Engelson award for the highest-rated thesis in the Bioengineering department.
I have also completed internships at Samsung Research America and IBM TJ Watson Research Center on their digital health teams.
I received my BS in Bioengineering and a Minor in Biomedical Research cum laude at UCLA in 2015.
