Hi there!

Thanks for visiting.

I am an Assistant Professor of Radiology (primary), Biomedical Engineering (Medical Physics Track), Applied Mathematics and Statistics (by courtesy), and Electrical and Computer Engineering (by courtesy) at Stony Brook University. I also serve as the Director of Computational and Quantitative MRI Research in Radiology.

I lead the Autonomous MRI Systems (AMRIS) Research Lab, conducting research at the intersection of reinforcement learning, computational imaging, and data acquisition.

Thanks,

Youngwook
