I am a PhD student in Biomedical Informatics at Indiana University, currently working at the AIMeD Lab under Prof. Rakesh Shiradkar. I completed my M.S. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University in 2024. Previously, I obtained my B.Sc. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Addis Ababa University. I have also worked at the AI Healthcare Lab at CMU-Africa under Prof. Carine Mukamakuza. My research focuses on histopathology image analysis, multimodal integration, and AI for cancer diagnosis and prognosis.
