Hi! I am a Postdoc at MARVL, the Medical AI and Computer Vision Lab at Stanford University, where I am advised by Serena Yeung-Levy.

My research focuses on AI for healthcare and aims to automate the spatial, semantic, and procedural understanding of surgical videos. By integrating AI into the operating room, I hope to improve the safety of surgeries and democratize surgical skill.

Before joining MARVL, I earned my PhD from University College London, where I was part of the Surgical Robot Vision Group advised by Dan Stoyanov. I received my MSc in Computational Statistics and Machine Learning from UCL, and my BSc in Mathematics in Economics from University of Mannheim.
