Enrichment Experiences
Summer Scholar Research Program with Dr. Jae Jung in Department of Radiation Oncology
June 2025-present
During the Summer Scholars Research Program, I focused on applying artificial intelligence to radiation oncology. My project involved refining a U-Net convolutional neural network to automate tumor volume contouring in breast brachytherapy, using MATLAB CERR to analyze patient CT scans and Python to optimize the AI model. At the end of the program, I presented my poster, “Analysis of a U-Net AI Model to Assist in Tumor Volume Contouring,” at the Annual Medical Student Scholarship Forum, where I shared how AI can reduce physician variability and improve efficiency in radiation treatment planning.

As Treasurer of the Sports Medicine Interest Group, I manage the organization’s budget, oversee membership dues, and help plan fundraising events. The purpose of our group is to provide medical students with opportunities for education, hands-on experiences, mentorship and community outreach related to the field of sports medicine.

Anatovault Member
December 2024- Present
Through my work with Anatovault, I design and develop accurate, functional 3D-printed models that enhance anatomy education. One of my main projects has been creating a skull model to teach osteology and provide neurosurgery residents with a tool to practice craniotomies. I have presented this work at multiple conferences, including the AMA ChangeMedEd Annual Conference and Brody’s Medical Education Day.

As a Conduct Committee Member at Brody, I was selected as one of only two first-year medical students to serve on the committee responsible for hearing cases of student misconduct. In this role, I evaluate evidence, participate in deliberations, and help determine appropriate outcomes to ensure accountability while fostering a culture of professionalism and ethical conduct.
