Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Computational Physicist
- Full-time research under Dr. Eric Aliotta on MRI-guided radiotherapy for pancreatic cancer, building an open-source MATLAB and Python pipeline for diffusion-weighted imaging analysis.
- Implemented IVIM and ADC diffusion model fitting, deep-learning denoising (DnCNN, IVIMnet), and dose–volume histogram analysis correlating diffusion-defined GTV subvolumes with radiotherapy dose maps.
- Designed cross-validated predictive models for treatment response and patient survival using competing risks analysis and elastic-net feature selection.
