Welcome to my website.
I am an assistant professor in Statistics and Data Science at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, with a secondary appointment in the Department of Medicine at the Perelman School of Medicine.
My research develops statistical and AI methods for science and medicine, with a focus on integrating multimodal data, such as imaging, genomics, and knowledge graphs, to enable discovery and translation. I’m also working on unifying statistical rigor, software engineering, and agentic AI to build practical systems for scientific and medical research.
My work has advanced understanding of the brain and inter-organ connections (e.g., heart–brain links) in relation to brain disorders and healthy aging, recognized by the inaugural UK Biobank Scientific Impact Awards. Our agentic AI platform was recently selected as a finalist for the Alzheimer’s Insights AI Prize, a $1M award supporting the use of agentic AI in Alzheimer’s disease research.
