About

I’m a computer scientist at Data Science and Learning (DSL) division at Argonne National Laboratory. I also hold joint appointments in X-ray Science division (XSD) at Advanced Photon Source (APS) and Consortium for Advanced Science and Engineering (CASE) at the University of Chicago.

I’m currently interested in developing high-performance computing and AI/ML techniques to solve large-scale (synchrotron radiation) X-ray image analysis problems. I have several internship positions available for experienced PhD students in these areas. Please feel free to reach out (with your CV), if you are interested.
