I’m a postdoctoral research fellow in the Advanced Bioimaging Center at the University of California, Berkeley. I’m working with Drs. Gokul Upadhyayula and Eric Betzig. In May 2019, I obtained my Ph.D. in Computational Biology under the supervision of Dr. Robert F. Murphy at Carnegie Mellon University.
I’m interested in bioimage processing and analysis, image-based modeling, and computing-empowered microscopy. My goal is to advance computational methods for cutting-edge microscopy techniques to gain deeper insights into biological phenomena. Currently, I’m focusing on developing scalable and efficient image processing methods for petabyte-scale light sheet microscopy data in order to understand biological facts from seemingly incomprehensible large biological samples, such as the mouse brain, human brain, and more.
