01 — About

Physician-Scientist at the Intersection of AI & Stroke Care

I integrate causal inference methodology, machine learning, and clinical trial design to move beyond one-size-fits-all treatment toward individualized therapeutic strategies in acute ischemic stroke.

As Founding Director of NeuroPrecision Lab and Primary Manager of the DUSK Trial, I lead research bridging computational innovation with direct patient care — from counterfactual models published in Annals of Neurology to AI triage platforms across 60 hospitals.
