What research did you do while at Harvard Physics?
I analyzed the state of the art in exoplanet detection with the aim of improving models for future detection of planets similar to Earth. I also applied machine learning in areas of precision measurement.
What's a favorite memory you have from your time at Harvard Physics?
Meeting my wife (who was a Harvard postdoc) at the climbing gym!
What are your plans for the future?
I am now a data scientist at VideaHealth in Cambridge, MA. We are improving dentistry through application of artificial intelligence by automatically detecting dental diseases from oral x-ray images.
