Two students from the Data‑Driven Decision Making (D3M) Lab have been selected for the Multi‑Campus Research Experience for Undergraduates (MCREU) program for Summer 2026, recognizing their strong research potential and contributions to data‑driven interdisciplinary projects.
Dhruv Sanghavi will work on deep learning‑based 3D segmentation of zebrafish morphology, using a 3D U‑Net model to automate biological image analysis and support large‑scale atlasing in collaboration with Penn State College of Medicine.
Om Patel will focus on AI‑driven analysis of diagnostic delay, service utilization, and suicide risk in personality disorders, applying machine learning and explainable AI techniques to large healthcare datasets.
These projects highlight the D3M Lab’s commitment to mentoring undergraduate researchers and advancing work at the intersection of data science, healthcare, and computational biology.
