I am a PhD student in Biomedical Engineering at Duke University, supervised by Dr. Dan Ma. I recently completed dual majors in Applied Mathematics and Biology at Emory University. My research interests focus on quantitative MRI and deep learning for medical imaging, especially MR fingerprinting and reconstruction. Feel free to reach out at any time!

This study developed an MRI probe (M2pep-uIONP) using ultrafine iron oxide nanoparticles with M2-specific peptides, achieving targeted imaging of pro-tumoral M2 macrophages in glioblastoma with significantly enhanced tumor accumulation and MRI contrast compared to commercial alternatives.

This paper examines how the shape and size of iron oxide nanorods affect their cellular uptake mechanisms. The study reveals the implications of different internalization pathways and their potential use in biomedical applications such as drug delivery and cell labeling.

In this paper, we presents a novel hybrid method that improves brain tumor segmentation by integrating hemodynamic properties from dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) enhanced MRI with deep learning spatial segmentation techniques. The approach, tested on a cohort of 513 patients, demonstrated enhanced segmentation precision and the ability to uncover hemodynamic heterogeneity within tumors, showing potential for more accurate tumor monitoring and treatment response assessment..
