About Me

A postdoctoral researcher at the Technical University of Munich, I am interested in the future of AI- and robot-assisted healthcare. My recent work advances physics- and learning-based simulations – from single image formation to room-scale environments – as the basis for intelligent assistance systems and immersive educational experiences. I am a member of the Chair for Computer Aided Medical Procedures, led by Nassir Navab. In 2025, I received my Ph.D. in computer science from Johns Hopkins University, where I was a part of the Advanced Robotics and Computationally Augmented Environments (ARCADE) research group, led by Mathias Unberath, and the Computation Interaction and Robotics Laboratory (CIRL) led by Greg Hager. I was a member of the Siebel Scholar Class of 2025, which recognizes students at leading graduate schools of business, computer science, bioengineering, and energy science for their academic excellence and research contributions. My thesis research was supported in part by the Link Foundation Fellowship in Modeling, Simulation, and Training. In 2019 I earned a B.A. in Computer Science with Honors from the University of Chicago. Outside of academia, I have interned with IBM Research - Almaden, Epic Systems, and Intuitive Surgical.

I have published peer-reviewed journal articles and conference papers in international venues, including IPCAI, MICCAI, CVPR, and Nature Machine Intelligence. For a complete list of publication and awards, please refer to my CV.

Throughout my efforts, I strive to foster an inclusive environment for all. I have served as the President of the LCSR Graduate Student Association (GSA) and in multiple roles on the MICCAI Student Board. I regularly volunteer for my department, university, and local community. As a member of ARCADE lab, I directly mentored the research of more than 20 graduate and undergraduate students, many of whom have since matriculated into Ph.D. programs.

Outside of the lab, I enjoy running, bouldering, and creative writing. I am an avid fan of art museums and espresso, especially together.
