I am a postdoctoral researcher at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital in the Mahmood Lab (since May 2022). I hold a PhD in electrical engineering and computer science from the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL), obtained in collaboration with IBM Research – Europe and ETH – Zurich under the supervision of Jean-Philippe Thiran and Maria Gabrani.

My research focuses on the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools into the clinical and research aspects of pathology with two primary objectives: (1) advancing representation learning of tissue by developing large-scale generic-purpose foundation models for histology, and (2) incorporating AI tools in drug development for better drug safety assessment, toxicity detection, and safety biomarker discovery.
