I am a student at The Ohio State University, studying Economics and Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE).

I conduct undergraduate research with Prof. Alper Yilmaz in the Photogrammetric Computer Vision Lab.

My research interests include medical image analysis, computer vision, and the adaptation of foundation models. My recent work focuses on retinal lesion segmentation and cardiac ultrasound video analysis.
