About
Throughout my research journey, I have demonstrated a commitment to advancing the field of medical imaging and artificial intelligence (AI) applications in healthcare. Starting with my master's program in physics, where I specialized in optical phenomena, I built a strong foundation in imaging principles that laid the groundwork for my subsequent research endeavors. My doctoral work focused on coronary artery tissue characterization for pediatric patients with Kawasaki Disease, utilizing innovative approaches such as Convolutional Neural Networks and 3D reconstruction techniques. This work garnered international recognition, culminating in a presentation at the 12th International Symposium on Kawasaki Disease in Japan. During my postdoctoral fellowship, I led the development of a groundbreaking computer-aided diagnostic framework, addressing a critical need in healthcare and presenting at prestigious conferences. Transitioning to industry, I joined Aligo Innovation to bridge the gap between academia and industry applications, successfully contributing to technology transfer and business development. In collaboration with ViTAA Medical Solutions, I played a pivotal role in developing an automated system for analyzing computed tomography images in abdominal aortic aneurysms, resulting in filed patents and impactful publications. More recently, I have taken on a more active role in academia, mentoring students, collaborating on innovative projects, and launching the "MedTech Innovations Journal (MIJ)" to bridge technology and healthcare. Beyond my research pursuits, I am a passionate advocate for the synergy of art and science, as reflected in my book "Being Fully Connected" and recent art exhibitions in Toronto and Montreal. My multifaceted background underscores my dedication to pushing the boundaries of knowledge and creativity in the intersection of technology and healthcare.
