Nov 01, 2026 Our two physics research papers were accepted to the Spring 2026 APS Northwest Section Meeting (APS PNW) (presented May 21, 2026): PSTL: Investigating Particle Scattering in Triply Periodic Minimal Surface Lattices (Session N01.07) and Quantifying Non-Gaussian Scattering Tails in Micro-Heterogeneous Phantoms for Proton Therapy Applications (Session P01.01).
Oct 31, 2026 Excited to announce that our expanded paper “CalAD: A Calibrated MRI Baseline for Alzheimer’s Detection on OASIS-3” (co-authored with Khush Mehta) has been accepted as a poster to SPIE Medical Imaging 2027!
Oct 27, 2026 Our paper “Beyond Site Decodability: When Does a Scanner Shortcut Actually Inflate Diagnostic Performance?” (solo author) concluded review for the ML4H 2026 Findings track. While the paper was not accepted in the final decision, it received encouraging reviews—scores of 4 (Marginal Accept), 3 (Marginal Reject), 4 (Marginal Accept), 4 (Marginal Accept), and 3 (Marginal Reject)—with reviewers highlighting the importance of the Shortcut Gap metric. Our extensive rebuttal and new analyses across corrected IXI ($N=563$) and ABIDE I cohorts successfully addressed key methodological feedback, demonstrating that the gap serves as a sensitive screening diagnostic that scales from 0.074 to 0.240 under induced site-label correlation. We thank the reviewers and program chairs on OpenReview as we prepare the extended manuscript for future submission!
Oct 16, 2026 While our paper “Auditing Building-Level Metrics and Incident Counts in Cross-Region Wildfire Damage Assessment” (co-authored with Max Xie) was not accepted to WACV 2027—ultimately receiving scores of 3 (conf. 3), 4 (conf. 3), and 2 (conf. 4)—we are deeply grateful to the reviewers for their constructive feedback and rigorous evaluation. We are actively revising and expanding the experimental evaluation for submission to IEEE TGRS (IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing).
Oct 02, 2026 Our paper “CalAD: A Calibrated MRI Baseline for Alzheimer’s Detection on OASIS-3” is accepted to the IEEE BIBM 2026 ML4BMI Workshop as solo first author! An expanded version is also pending review for SPIE Medical Imaging 2027 (co-authored with Khush Mehta).
Sep 15, 2026 Our paper “CONFLUENCE: Does Cross-Scale Graph Attention Help Watershed Vegetation Forecasting?” is accepted to ACM SIGSPATIAL GeoAI 2026! (Solo author; check out the workshop agenda & schedule; also submitted to NeurIPS TCCML Workshop).
Aug 20, 2026 Our work “Attention-Augmented Temporal Fusion Transformer for Short-Horizon Hypoglycemia Prediction in Type 1 Diabetes” is published in Endocrine Practice and presented at AACE 2026, with preprint on Research Square.
