This site shares reflections on the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, AI-mathematics, and education, and how these fields together can advance human well-being. (AI and robotics are not destroying jobs—they are re-weighting labor toward higher cognitive and supervisory roles.) I explore recent AI developments and their connections to medical imaging, biosignal analysis, and mathematical modeling.

We are interested in developing intelligent home palliative care systems—comfort-first, cost-effective alternatives to hospital-based end-of-life care. In this setting, AI acts as a safeguard, helping clinicians prioritize dignity and comfort while recommending only essential, minimally invasive tests when precision is less critical than peace of mind. Such an intelligent healthcare system can combine multiple AI-enabled components—including remote monitoring, AI-assisted diagnosis, telediagnosis, assistive robots, and digital-twin–based patient modeling—designed to support comfort, shared decision-making, and seamless care at home.

This homepage also presents future outlooks, research directions, and educational insights that connect mathematical reasoning with practical, compassionate healthcare innovation.

Research Areas My research spans the intersection of mathematics, AI, and medical science, focusing on both theoretical foundations and practical applications. Areas of particular interest include:

Deep Learning and AI for Healthcare
Medical Imaging — CT, MRI, and Ultrasound
PDEs and Harmonic Analysis
Inverse Problems and Mathematical Modeling
MREIT, Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT)
Image Processing and Industrial Mathematics

This combination of theory and application supports the development of intelligent diagnostic and monitoring systems, including AI-assisted imaging reconstruction and home-based palliative care technologies.
