I'm excited about how AI methods can advance scientific discovery, particularly at the intersection of machine learning, microscopy, physics, and cell biology. My research combines machine learning methods with physics-based modeling and priors to advance how we image and study biological systems. Within the AI@HHMI initiative, my current work spans AI methods for cryo-electron tomography, agentic AI for microscopy, and computational adaptive optics, in close collaboration with experimentalists and tool builders across fields.
