I am a PhD student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rice University advised by Ashok Veeraraghavan and Guha Balakrishnan. I work on uncertainty quantification, specifically Conformal Prediction for medical imaging problems, as well as generative models and hallucinations. I was a trainee in the NIH NLM Training Program in Biomedical Informatics and Data Science. I received my M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Rice University in 2023 and my B.S. in Electrical Engineering (cum laude) from UC Davis in 2020.

📢 I am looking for full-time opportunities in the Bay Area CA!
