• Engineered a multi-model machine learning system for pulmonary fibrosis prognosis, integrating a self-attention CNN to classify fibrotic tissue patterns, reaching ±47 mL error on ~6000 mL lung volumes.
• Conducting research on in-clinic datasets under Prof. Martin Kolb, implementing lung volume quantification techniques on CT scans that improved lung volume readings by 17%.
