Biography

I completed my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Computer Science & Engineering with a focus on Intelligent Systems at the University of Michigan. I then completed my MD at the University of Michigan Medical School. After a transitional year internship at Beaumont Hospital – Dearborn, I returned to the University of Michigan for residency training in radiation oncology. Under the American Board of Radiology’s Holman Pathway, I led multiple cancer genomics and biomarker studies under the mentorship of Dr. Felix Feng. Now, as a physician-scientist at the University of Wisconsin, I lead an independent translational research laboratory focusing on developing advanced AI-driven biomarkers of treatment response and resistance, primarily in prostate cancer. I co-direct the UWCCC Circulating Biomarker Core with Dr. Josh Lang, where we work on translating liquid biopsy technology into clinical trials.
