Leveraging a broad range of skills in computer vision, machine learning and cell biology to develop technical solutions to support biological research in cell behavior and cosmetic treatments. Some examples: - single-cell image segmentation to measure cell heterogeneity and spatial organization of proteins- Facial-wrinkle-based age prediction to measure.

Studied how the brain learns and controls skilled movements using basketball shooting as a model system. Particular focus on understanding the nuances of motor variability and the effects of delayed feedback on learning and performance. My work involved computer/machine vision, experimental design, and statistical analyses to understand nuances of.

Department Of Mechanical Science And Engineering

Studied how biological cells respond to small mechanical forces and the physical attributes of their environment. Specifically, I focused on how these physical factors affect cell plasticity, tumorigenicity, and gene expression.

Mechanobiology Institute

Investigated role of cytoskeletal nuclear protein (Lamin A/C) in nuclear organization and activity by controlling cell shape with micropatterning of surface proteins

Helped designed a high-throughput microfluidic device which efficiently separates white blood cells from whole blood samples "on-a-chip" through the use of micropatterned surface proteins.
