Currently, I am a Master of Mathematics student in the Cheriton School of Computer Science at the University of Waterloo. Previously, I received an Honours Bachelor of Science with Distinction from the Department of Computer Science at the University of Victoria.
My interests and enthusiasm are for Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing for Medicine. I am exploring how to use medical data and machine learning to help doctors make diagnostic decisions. I am broadly keen on computer vision for improving cancer detection and classification, lesion segmentation and quantification in all types of imaging modalities. I am recently fascinated by natural language processing for analyzing and interpreting genomics and clinical reports, and their linkages between images to improve patient outcomes.
I have officially became a Permanent Resident of Canada!
I am working under the supervision of Dr. Yuri Boykov on weakly-supervised segmentation for biomedical images!
I started the thesis-based Master of Mathematics program in the Cheriton School of Computer Science at the University of Waterloo!
I won the International Master's Award of Excellence!
Thank you, UWaterloo!Students will be selected based on academic excellence as demonstrated through their application for admission to the graduate program.
I won the University of Waterloo Graduate Scholarship!
Thank you, UWaterloo!Eligible students must have a minimum first-class (80%) cumulative average in their current program or over the last two full-time academic years and be within the time limits of their graduate program.
I won the W.E. Cowie Innovation Award!
One award is given to a graduating undergraduate student in the Faculty of Engineering, who demonstrate exceptional innovative ability via their graduating project.
Thank you, Charlotte Alexandra Nelson Cowie!
Two papers were accepted at MICCAI 2021 Deep Generative Models Workshop!
I gave a talk on Magnetic Resonance Images and Generative Adversarial Networks at McMedHacks organized by McGill University!
One paper was accepted at ICML 2021 Unsupervised Reinforcement Learning Workshop!
I officially graduated from the University of Victoria!
It has been a wild ride! The tassel was a bit of a hassle, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
I have been selected as a Vector Scholarship in Artificial Intelligence Recipient 2021-22!
The Vector Scholarship in Artificial Intelligence supports the recruitment of top students to AI-related master’s programs in Ontario.
Thank you, Vector Institute!
I worked as a Software Developer Intern at Global Reach Group on the development of currency exchange platform!
I worked as a Research Assistant with Dr. Brandon Haworth on generalization in multi-agent reinforcement learning!
I have been selected as a Jamie Cassels Undergraduate Research Award Recipient 2020-21!
The goal of this award is to encourage undergraduates to pursue innovative and original research to enhance their learning while at the University of Victoria and to provide a valuable preparatory experience towards graduate studies or a research related career.
Thank you, UVic!
