What you will be working on?
My research interest is in the application of machine learning and artificial intelligence in the biomedical sciences to improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. I will be working on multi-modal modeling for oncology.
What are you looking forward to the most in your experience as a WA Scholar?
To flourish and grow as a student and researcher! I am excited to connect with and learn from leading researchers in the computational biology and artificial intelligence field. I also look forward to joining a community of students who share similar backgrounds and aspirations.
How do you see this shaping your research and ultimately, career?
As a first-generation, low-income student, being a Warren Alpert Scholar is a transformative opportunity for me. I never imagined reaching this point—a college graduate, an engineer, and, now, a graduate student at Stanford University. The access to resources and mentorship through this program will open doors that might have otherwise remained closed due to my unfamiliarity with navigating research and graduate school. This support will provide essential guidance throughout my academic journey and beyond. I am confident that the Warren Alpert program will help me to achieve my goal of making a meaningful impact in the field of cancer research.
