Summary

I am an Assistant Professor of Health Informatics in the Department of Health Information Management within the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh, with a secondary appointment at the Intelligent Systems Program (ISP). I am also leading our efforts at the Pitt HexAI Research Laboratory. I am also affiliated with the Center for AI Innovation in Medical Imaging (CAIIMI). Starting from August 2022, I am honored to serve our community as the Vice Chair of IEEE Computer Society at Pittsburgh. I have a deep passion for AI-Powered healthcare informatics and health data science with better patient diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment using largescale
multiple clinical data sources and advanced computational algorithms.
I am currently collaborating with Dr. Kurt Weiss on a research project entitled "Using Artificial Intelligence to Predict Response to Therapy in Adult and Pediatric Sarcomas", awarded by Pitt's Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI). The main goal of the project is to develop, train, test, and validate deep learning medical image analysis algorithms and computer vision methods to predict response to therapy in sarcoma, localizing and characterizing CT and MRI findings in predicting response to the therapy.
