Josiah Aklilu
PhD student at Stanford
Currently, I’m a Biomedical Data Science PhD student at Stanford University where I’m fortunately advised by Prof. Serena Yeung in the MARVL lab. My research interests are at the intersection of machine learning and healthcare, centered in computer vision and vision-language models for surgical skill assessment and training. I’m also very interested in developing zero-shot methods for video understanding in biomedical domains.
Previously, I received my Bachelor’s in Mathematics, Computer Science, and Physics at the University of Denver with a Distinction in Computer Science.
