Tufts University

I’m a Ph.D. candidate at Tufts University's Biomedical Engineering department, and my journey from breakthrough academic research to founding a med-tech startup is a story I believe your readers would find compelling.The academic chapter.&nbsp;At Tufts, I developed deep learning methods that improved LED‑based photoacoustic image quality, leading to one of the&nbsp;top 10 most cited papers&nbsp;in the Journal of Biophotonics&nbsp;(<a href="https://engineering.tufts.edu/news-events/news/painting-better-diagnostic-picture-tufts-duo-advances-quality-photoacoustic-images" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://engineering.tufts.edu/news-events/news/painting-better-diagnostic-picture-tufts-duo-advances-quality-photoacoustic-images</a>; <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DYFj0owEQP0/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.instagram.com/p/DYFj0owEQP0/</a>). Our work on the CONFIG-UNet AI framework is now being used to guide real‑time cancer treatments by mapping tumor oxygenation. I was also recently honored with the&nbsp;SOE Outstanding Academic Scholarship Award (<a href="https://engineering.tufts.edu/news-events/news/2025-graduate-awards-announced" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://engineering.tufts.edu/news-events/news/2025-graduate-awards-announced</a>).The startup chapter.&nbsp;Now I’m founding ClAIrVuE, a startup building the first real‑time AI co‑pilot for robotic kidney &amp; liver transplantation in collaboration with Tufts Medical (<a href="https://www.tuftsdaily.com/article/2026/04/seeing-the-unseen-how-the-ai-framework-clairvue-is-transforming-cancer-treatment" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.tuftsdaily.com/article/2026/04/seeing-the-unseen-how-the-ai-framework-clairvue-is-transforming-cancer-treatment</a>). Using weak supervision and our lab’s proven AI methods, ClAIrVuE provides step‑by‑step surgical guidance, safety alerts, and objective IRI assessment. I’ve already assembled the tech, clinical partners, and a provisional patent. For this startup, we also got funding from Tufts University (Tufts Launchpad Accelerator grant).I’d love to tell you the full story over a brief call and share how ClAIrVuE was born directly from our award‑winning research at Tufts. I look forward to hearing from you.
