aboutME#

Medical doctor turned health data scientist, trying to use the powers of AI for social good. Currently busy with a Computer Science masters and interested in research at the intersections of theoretical / computational neuroscience and machine learning.

I enjoy long-ish walks in the mountains and will board down any snowy stretch of hillside that happens to be nearby.
