I am a PhD Student at the Vector Institute and Queen's University, supervised by Dr. Parvin Mousavi. My main research interests are in Computer Vision, Deep Learning, and Trustworthy AI in Healthcare and Medicine. More specifically, my research focuses on designing, training, and deploying trustworthy deep learning models for disease diagnosis and computer-assisted interventions at the point-of-care. I am also a recipient of the Bruce Mitchell Research Fellowship. Previously, I completed my MSc in Artificial Intelligence at Queen's and my HBSc in Computer Science and Philosophy at the University of Toronto. I am also a former recipient of the Robert Sutherland Fellowship at Queen's and a graduate of the NSERC MediCREATE training program.
