<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Efforts to develop accurate and robust AI models span a wide range of tasks and applications, including medical image analysis (MedIA), natural language processing (NLP), and speech signal processing. In this talk,
I will present my research in these areas, beginning with medical image analysis, where I introduce a semi-supervised learning approach for vessel segmentation in X-ray coronary angiography, and NLP, where I discuss a graph-based model for key information
extraction, both designed to enhance accuracy in complex tasks. Next, I will highlight our efforts in developing low Size, Weight, and Power, Cost (SWaP-C) AI implementations using spiking neural networks (SNNs), specifically for speech enhancement, leveraging
neuromorphic architectures for energy-efficient AI in edge computing. I will also discuss my ongoing collaborations with EECS faculty and outline my vision for future research and development.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), Ohio University. Prior to this, he conducted research at Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School (2021–2023), focusing on AI-driven medical image analysis. His research interests
span Deep Learning, Machine Learning, Medical Image Analysis, Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, and Reinforcement Learning. His work has been published in multiple conferences and journals, including ISBI, MLMI, and ICMLA.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
