About Me
Hi! Iām Joy, and Iām a PhD candidate in Biomedical Informatics at the Unversity of Pittsburgh. My interests lie at the intersection of data science and software engineering, specifically within developing methods that facilitate computer-aided detection and predictive modeling. Currently, Iām developing novel ways to use multi-modal neuroimaging data to predict neurodevelopmental outcome in pediatric patients. My overall goal is to draw on and contribute to machine learning, graph theory, data science, and neuroscience.
Before matriculating, I worked as a full time software engineer in the telecommunication and defense sector. Moving forward, I hope to pursue roles that allow me to continue utilizing computer science to make contributions to my communities. Beyond professional pursuits, I am also a big fan of fantasy football, reading, and hiking.
