1. Medical Image Analysis & Healthcare AI
Medical imaging plays a critical role in early diagnosis and treatment planning. My research focuses on building effective yet lightweight deep learning architectures for classifying and detecting diseases from medical images, including breast cancer histopathology, brain tumors from MRI, skin lesions, Alzheimer’s disease staging, and pneumonia from chest X-rays. I emphasize interpretability and clinical trust through the integration of Explainable AI (XAI) techniques.
