I serve as VP of R&D at United Imaging Intelligence (UII America) in Boston, MA, where I lead the creation of computer vision, machine learning, and intelligent robotic systems for medical environments.

Previously, I worked as a Senior Key Expert Scientist at Siemens Corporate Research in Princeton, NJ and as a System Engineer at Honeywell Technology Solutions Labs in Shanghai, China, respectively.

I received my PhD in Computer and Systems Engineering from the Department of Electrical, Computer, and Systems Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in May 2014 under the guidance of Prof. Richard J. Radke.

Currently, I am focused on autonomizing medical devices with visual perception and building robust, fair, and data-efficient computer vision models for healthcare.
