Hi! My name is Brian D'Alessandro. I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Engineering at the New Jersey Institute of Technology.
I develop image analysis algorithms using deep learning and computer vision. I currently am using these techniques for the analysis of skin cancer and other clinical features of interest.
Welcome to my personal website where I post about anything I am currently interested in or working on. Enjoy!
