Welcome! I am currently a third year BME PhD student at Duke University, advised by Dr. Timothy Dunn. My research has focused on building computer vision tools that measure how lab animals move, quantitatively and precisely in 3D, together with data-driven frameworks that efficiently transform behavioral dynamics into informative representations, ultimately in connection with the brain.
Before Duke, I completed my undergraduate in Applied Mathematics and Bioengineering at University of California, Los Angeles. I worked on AI-facilitated medical image analysis at UCLA Medical Informatics advised by Professor William Hsu, mainly upon CT scan denoising and breast lesion detection in ultrasound.
Outside of research, I enjoy reading mystery and detective fiction. Some of my favorites are The Seventh Hypothesis by Paul Halter, The Tokyo Zodiac Murders and The Knight Stranger by Soji Shimada.
Research Interests
- 3D motion capture in unconstrained social rodents
- unsupervised behavioral/motion representation learning
- social phenotyping of neuropsychiatric diseases (autism)
- deep learning for computational neuroscience & ethology
