  My research focuses on quantifying the pivotal role of tumor microenviorement and mechanical stress within pancreatic cancer, which leads to minimal drug perfusion, hypovascularity within the tumor site, and poor therapeutic outcome. During my PhD work I have:1) Innovated entire device and system architecture to measure and quantify micro-regional steady-state pressure and pressure fluctuations within biological tissue 2) Applied unsupervised machine learning algorithms to quantify complex tissue structures within hundreds of pathological and fluorescence images3) Applied digital image analysis techniques to quantify inherent spatial complexity of desmoplastic response through fractal dimension and entropy, leading to the development of a new, simplified biomechanical model4) Directed an investigation on the relationship between mechanical stress in pancreatic tissue with in-vivo imaging techniques using endoscopic ultrasound elastography Show less
