Gastroenterology Fellow
University of Washington
I am a Gastroenterology Fellow at the University of Washington, where I am dedicated to advancing patient care through clinical excellence and research.
My research interests include esophageal motility disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, and the application of clinical decision support tools in gastroenterology. I am passionate about translating research findings into improved patient outcomes.

This study re-examined the diagnostic accuracy of timed barium esophagram (TBE) for achalasia using updated reference standards. We found that a classification tree model incorporating multiple metrics achieved 88.3% accuracy, significantly outperforming traditional single-metric methods, offering clinicians a standardized and more reliable approach to TBE interpretation.

This review summarizes factors that predict responsiveness to biologic agents in Crohn's disease, including patient characteristics, disease phenotype, genetic markers, and gut microbiome composition. We discuss emerging clinical decision support tools powered by machine learning that may help clinicians optimize biologic selection for individual patients.
