Elbert is pursuing MESc in Software Engineering at Western University, following his BSc in 2025. His research, in collaboration with Robarts Research Institute, centers on uncertainty-aware deep learning for medical image segmentation in the analysis of kidney ablations. Elbert has demonstrated strong practical development skills as an Undergraduate Research Assistant with the FAST Research Group, responsible for developing the initial full-stack prototype of a specialized web application for disease detection in strawberries. The tool is publicly available ( https://strawberry.uwo.ca/ ).
Michael received his BESc in Software Engineering in 2024 from Western University, Canada, and is currently pursuing a master's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering with a Collaborative Specialization in Artificial Intelligence at Western University. His current research focuses on in-vehicle facial detection systems using deep learning and computer vision techniques.
Hi! I’m Tina, Research Assistant at Western University with a Master of Software Engineering specializing in AI through the Vector Institute. My research interests span machine learning and AI, with previous work in EEG-based emotion detection, medical image analysis, LLMs, and Diffusion Models. Currently, I’m working on the AllEars project, using pediatric 3D ear scans to predict ear morphology. I hope to leave my mark in the field! Outside of research, I’m happiest outdoors. I enjoy camping, travelling, and occasionally pretending I know what I’m doing with a camera. Learning the Native American flute keeps at least one of my hobbies away from a screen!
