I am an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Eastern Kentucky University. I did my Ph.D. study at the University of Kentucky, under the direction of Dr. Nathan Jacobs. I am excited about using computer vision and deep learning techniques to solve real-world problems. I have focused on a variety of problems, including medical image understanding, galaxy cluster estimating, and radiographic synthesizing. Before diving into the deep learning world, I earned an undergraduate degree that focuses on video game design and worked in the industry for a while. I am thrilled that I can pick up video game design at the EKU Gaming Institute. |
