I am Michael Shimizu, a first-year Ph.D. student studying Applied Mathematics and Statistics at Stony Brook University. My research interests lie in machine learning, medical image analysis, and mathematical modeling.

I completed my undergrad at Cornell University, majoring in Engineering Physics with a minor in Mathematics. During my undergraduate studies, I conducted research in Professor Peter McMahon's lab at Cornell University and with Professor Ting Ge at the University of South Carolina.
