Experience

Deep Learning Researcher

Department of Pathology, Kyungpook National University Medical Center - Daegu, Korea

-Designed a novel architecture integrating attention mechanisms and clustering methods to enhance interpretability and discriminate abnormalities in thyroid WSIs.

-Designed the 2-step cascaded architecture based on CNN and CRNN(CNN+RNN) to predict TERT promoter mutational status in thyroid cancer.

-Built 3D models to identify the correlation between appendicitis diagnoses from non-contrast CT scan and enhanced CT scan.

Apr 2021 - Present

Computer Vision Engineer

CAIDE Systems - Lowell, MA

-Developed a cascaded deep learning architecture, considering diverse window values to enhance the sensitivity of predicting hemorrhages in brain CT images.

-Designed novel deep neural networks by combining the VGG16 architecture with the Unet concept and modified pooling layers based on semantic segmentation method.

-Developed back-end engines for the deep learning medical platform to integrate in front-end UI/UX.

        Interests

        On weekends, I love spending time outdoors. During the spring and summer, I play baseball and enjoy riding my motorcycle.

        In my spare time, I dive into music production. I believe musical creativity can inspire a positive and motivated outlook on life. I also enjoy exploring and keeping up with cutting-edge developments in artificial intelligence.
