We are thrilled to welcome Lisa as a postdoctoral researcher. Lisa recently obtained her PhD from Kent University on disentangled representations learning and variational auto-encoders. She will be developing innovative deep-learning models to identify morphological features from whole slide images associated with tumor aggressiveness.
