I am a Ph.D. candidate in Biomedical and Health Informatics at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, working on AI-driven healthcare solutions that bridge the gap between machine learning research and clinical practice.

My research centers on building interpretable and trustworthy AI systems for healthcare. I develop predictive models using Electronic Health Records (EHR) to forecast clinical outcomes, identify risk factors, and enable personalized patient care. A core focus of my work is Explainable AI (XAI)—ensuring that clinicians can understand, trust, and effectively use AI-generated insights in their decision-making.

Research Interests:

  • Explainable AI & Interpretable Machine Learning for Clinical Decision Support
  • Predictive Modeling with EHR and Clinical Data
  • Large Language Models (LLMs) for Medical Text Analysis
  • Human-in-the-Loop Machine Learning Systems
  • Social Determinants of Health Analytics
  • Medical Image Processing & Neural Signal Analysis

I am driven by a vision of healthcare where AI empowers clinicians to deliver more effective, efficient, and equitable care.
