About Me
- 👋 I’m a PhD-trained AI/ML expert who can find novel and creative solutions for text-to-image problems. I enjoy asking new questions and redefining existing ones.
- 🧬 🎨 📸 My specialty is applying machine learning to microscopy and medical imaging, where I use physics and biology to deal with data challenges. I’m also curious about exploring new domains and pushing the limits of machine learning.
- 🤖 Fun fact: I love transformers (the models, not the movies).
