About

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at Odyssey Digital Pathology, where I develop deep learning segmentation models for multi-cancer lymph node screening. By training I am a physicist, holding Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Physics. Over the years I have built deep expertise in optical and X-ray microscopy, as well as image analysis using both conventional and deep learning approaches. My research has focused primarily on the pathology domain, where I have developed a working knowledge of cancer biology and histopathology along the way.
