Current Role
Current Role
I support NCI’s cancer data science with emphasis on imaging informatics. My expertise lies in knowledge of biomedical imaging, minimally invasive cancer therapies, the development of data repositories, and software tools for machine learning/artificial intelligence applications in imaging and cancer research. I am also on a part-time detail with the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), where I support the development of imaging and artificial intelligence platforms for key NHLBI data science initiatives, including the BioData Catalyst. I am an active member of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) and the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM).
