Learning, Discovery, Reasoning Group @ JHU

We develop machine learning and computer vision methods to learn meaningful representations, generate images, and model how complex systems change over time. Our research focuses on generative models, representation learning, physics-informed learning, and spatiotemporal modeling.

Healthcare and biomedical discovery are central to our work. Challenges in medical imaging and physiology motivate new learning methods, which we study through algorithm development and biomedical evaluation. Our goal is to support diagnosis, disease monitoring, and treatment planning with reliable and interpretable AI.

Our work connects methodological questions in ML/CV with clinical needs, with publications in venues including NeurIPS, ICLR, CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, MICCAI, IPMI, and IEEE TMI.

Prospective PhD Students for Fall 2027: We are looking for prospective PhD students with machine learning and computer vision background to join us in Fall 2027. Check out our openings page for more information.
