I think it was never about the ideas or achievements, but the people and the community. Having a strong team with good and kind people always win.

Research engineer at MIT CSAIL on MANTIS AI with Prof. Manolis Kellis — vision-language models for spatial transcriptomics and Alzheimer’s disease.

I work on AI for Science: machine learning, computer vision, and interpretable models for biology and healthcare. B.S. in Computer Science from Gannon University (4.0 GPA).
