Why pursue a Ph.D. in Data Science?
I am a sponsored student through the United States Air Force (USAF) where I serve as an operation research analyst. I applied to UVA’s PhD in Data Science after seeing a shift in both military and industry to adopt data science in projects. My dissertation topic will be “Domain Adaptation Evaluation for Deep Image Segmentation" where I use deep learning methods to assist pathologists in disease diagnosis. I hope to use multi domain adaptation methods to reduce or eliminate the current reliance for large amounts of labeled data to diagnose diseases while cementing trust in the biomedical community for deep learning models.
