Building tools for clinicians and patients.

Portrait of Philip Shih

About

I am currently a medical student at UCSF School of Medicine. I received my M.S. from the UC Berkeley–UCSF Joint Medical Program, where I studied neuroimaging methods.

As an undergraduate at UC Berkeley, I conducted computational life sciences research through the Klinman Group and ULab at Berkeley.

Interests

My primary academic interest is in approaches to using synthetic imaging data to improve clinical decision support systems.

I am currently exploring how imaging tools and quality assurance gating may impact VLM performance across different visual reasoning tasks.

Bookshelf

I always enjoy reading others' lists and browsing their bookshelves, so this intended to be a digital version of that. I've only read about half of the books here. (I guess I fall somewhere in the middle in the Umberto Eco theory of the library.)
