About me
I am a PhD candidate in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Texas at Austin.
My research is mainly focused on machine learning and its applications in VLSI CAD, autonomous system validation, and medical data analytics.
I am a member of UTDA research group working under the supervision of Prof. David Z. Pan. I am also a collaborator at Stroke Thrombectomy and Aneurysm Registry (STAR) as part of the STAR-AI team.
