About me
Hello, I am a second year student at the University of Western Ontario in the medical sciences and scholar's electives program that is passionate about machine learning and molecular biology. Currently, I am working on building Calliope, a web application, designed for students, that generates personalized cold emails and messages for employers in seconds. On top of this, I am working on building a GAN that generates synthetic knee ultrasound images under a lab at the University of Toronto. Additionally, I am researching at the ASLD lab at the University of Western Ontario.
In the future, I plan to use machine learning technology to solve problems in the medical field. With regards to this goal, I am working on implementing machine learning to create new antibiotics alongside Long Journey Ventures. The use of machine learning in this field will help us better cope with increasing antimicrobrial resistance.
