About
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. My research integrates multimodal longitudinal data including wearable sensors, electronic health records, medications, survey responses, and clinical notes to develop predictive and interpretable machine learning models for personalized medicine. Large language models are used to derive clinically meaningful insights from these heterogeneous data.
