I am a Bioengineering PhD student working with Dr. David Wolk and Dr. Sandhitsu Das. My research focuses on disentangling the heterogeneity of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) using multimodal imaging biomarkers, machine learning, and statistical modeling. In particular, my work aims to identify co-pathologies (such as LATE) and resilience associated with AD patients through clinically available biomarkers. I am motivated by addressing complex clinical questions with innovative approaches to advance disease-modifying therapeutics and improve clinical trial enrichment. Before my PhD, I worked at Yale University, where I assisted in PET imaging tracer development in animal models, building on my undergrad background in chemistry and molecular research. Outside of thinking about brain, I enjoy gentle music, playing the guzheng, perfumery, Chinese calligraphy, yoga, and traveling (especially to culturally rich places), as well as thoughtful conversations that often begin with science and end somewhere around life and meaning. I also enjoy slow weekend brunches with friends!
