My research focuses on the intersection of computer science education and biomedical computing, with particular emphasis on artificial intelligence in computer science education, medical image analysis, and medical robotics. Current research directions include developing fast 3D reconstruction algorithms for tubular anatomical structures, acquiring MRI projection images for volumetric reconstruction, and integrating machine learning and data science methods—such as object detection and segmentation—into real-time processing pipelines to improve computational speed and accuracy. I am especially interested in applying AI techniques to enhance teaching and learning in computer science education.

In addition to my research, I teach both undergraduate and graduate courses, including Introduction to Computer Science, Computer Organization, Algorithms and Data Structures, Advanced Web Applications, and courses that explore AI in education.
