About Me
Hi, I’m Joy. I’m a Data Scientist at Mayo Clinic, where I design, implement, and evaluate generative and agentic AI solutions to address challenges in medicine and clinical practice.
I completed my PhD in Biomedical Informatics at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine under the mentorship of Dr. Rafael Ceschin. My dissertation focused on using network science, machine learning, and neuroimaging to predict long term neurodevelopmental outcomes in children with congenital heart disease.
My background includes software engineering in the telecommunications industry, research roles across nonprofits and academic medical centers, and data science in clinical settings. I work across the full lifecycle of applied AI, from building models to developing software and evaluating performance in real world settings. My work focuses on clinical decision support, computer aided detection, and predictive modeling.
Outside of work, I hike, partly to stay active and partly to justify how often I eat out.
