I do research, experimentation of machine learning systems for Medical devices development at Medtronic Surgical.

My academic research focus on the reliability of medical vision-language models.

I believe safe and educated adoption of AI-driven systems can make healthcare equitable around the world.

My beliefs

We can help create a world we’re glad to live in, and leave it better for those who come after us.

  1. Build for the long term.

    Make things that are useful to people, even if it takes longer. Never take shortcuts that undermine the goal.

  2. Stay curious.

    Seek to understand why something works.

  3. Make problems and solutions easy to talk about.

    Be open to being wrong.

  4. We can’t do everything alone.

    Inspire the team with a mission, co-develop a goal, and give people room to act.
