Research – My research is focused on developing new real-time technologies for MRI-guided interventions, such as targeted biopsy and focal ablation. My current projects include developing novel motion tracking and prediction algorithms for computer assisted navigation of interventional procedures under real-time MRI guidance; and developing new deep learning-based real-time tissue and device detection and tracking methods.
Background – I received my B.S. in Bioengineering and Mechanical Engineering at Pennsylvania State University in winter of 2014. My senior project is to design “IV rherapy UV-C Light Disinfecting Device” that sponsored by B. Braun Medical. During undergraduate research, I worked for Dr. Corina Drapaca and Dr. Thomas Neuberger to prototype a needle-based mechanical driver for MR elastography.
