My research asks a simple question with a complicated answer: what if cancer treatment could learn from the patient as it unfolds? I develop computational methods that combine mathematical optimization, artificial intelligence, and longitudinal patient data to turn evolving treatment response into better clinical decisions — while there is still time to act.

01 · Monitor
Measure response

Extract clinically meaningful signals from imaging, biomarkers, wearables, and longitudinal treatment data.

02 · Personalize
Adapt treatment

Use prediction and optimization to determine when treatment should change, and how it should change for an individual patient.

03 · Deliver
Improve access

Build decision-support and optimization systems that make advanced cancer care more efficient, deployable, and accessible.
