Building at the intersection of AI and human health — from a MICCAI-winning brain tumor segmentation model to community-scale health advocacy

What I'm looking for

A role where I can apply data science and machine learning to real health outcomes ideally in health, fin or bio-tech with room to grow, work with people who care about the problem as much as I do, and see my work actually reach the people it's meant to help.

I work at the intersection of artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and public health. I co-authored the winning solution to the MICCAI BraTS-SSA 2025 brain tumor segmentation challenge, published research linking sleep, alcohol, and memory in Brain and Behavior, and presented gut-microbiome findings at AAIC25 in Toronto. Alongside this, I founded Brain Aware Ghana to bring neurological health education to underserved communities. I move comfortably between building deep learning models for medical imaging and translating complex science into outreach people can actually act on — and I'm looking for my next chapter in data science or health-tech.
