About Me
I am an Assistant Professor of Data Science and Analytics at Kennesaw State University and Director of the Intelligent Computing for Advanced Research in Healthcare (iCARE) Lab. My research focuses on artificial intelligence for healthcare, with particular interests in medical image analysis, deep learning, multimodal AI, medical image segmentation, image registration, and the development of reliable computational methods for clinical research.
My research brings together academic, clinical, and industry collaboration. I collaborate with researchers at Emory University School of Medicine and the Atlanta VA Health Care System on AI and medical imaging research, and with Equifax on applied artificial intelligence, agentic systems, and data-driven research. Through the iCARE Lab, I mentor graduate and undergraduate students and work toward translating advances in AI and data science into practical solutions for healthcare and other real-world applications.
