Graduate Researcher — AI Agents and Foundation Models for Predictive Embryology in IVF Procedures (Weill Cornell Medical College)
Developed and trained an embryo foundation model to support real-time embryo monitoring and grading in IVF. The work focused on learning from a large image dataset and using the model for clinically relevant prediction outputs. The system was integrated into clinical workflows to improve clinician efficiency and support continuous monitoring. • Engineered the FEMI masked autoencoder foundation model on 20 million embryo images. • Built conditional diffusion models to generate synthetic embryo images for dataset augmentation. • Produced predictions for embryo quality and ploidy assessment using the foundation model. • Implemented AI agents to grade and monitor embryos 24/7 in the clinic workflow.
