Research Interests
  • Representation Learning for Precision Medicine
  • Patient Clustering and Disease Subtyping
  • Genomics and Transcriptomics
  • Comparative Anatomy and Geometric Morphometrics
     
Current Project
  • Using large biobank data and cutting-edge machine-learning algorithms, I am working to find meaningful joint representations of genomic information and electronic health records (EHRs), that can be used to improve downstream biomedical analyses like patient stratification, disease subtyping, and risk prediction.
