Bio
I am a fourth-year undergraduate student at the University of Toronto. I am doing a Computer Science Specialist and Statistics Major. During my undergrad, I have been doing research in the field of Human-Computer Interaction, Machine Learning and Health Care, Statistics, and Education.
Research
I am currently working on building robust EHR(electronic healthcare record) machine learning models against distribution shifts under the supervision of professor Rahul G. Krishnan in the Machine Learning and Computational Health Care Group.
I am also working on extending simulations of the PANPRS model(polygenic risk score model incorporated pleiotropy and annotation information) under the supervision of professor Osvaldo Espin-Garcia.
