David Asante-Asare

I’m a researcher passionate about the intersection of machine learning, computational imaging, and biophysics, working to push the boundaries of dynamic bio-imaging.

Currently, I’m pursuing a PhD in Computer Engineering at the University of Texas at Dallas, where I work in the Dynamic Bio-Imaging Lab under the guidance of Dr. Zihao Ou.

My research is about finding better ways to see what is happening inside living biological tissue, and then making sense of what we see. Part of that work involves developing ways to make tissue temporarily more transparent so that structures normally hidden beneath the surface can be imaged. The other part involves developing computational methods to measure, track, and understand how those structures change and move over time. Ultimately, I want to build better ways of turning difficult biological images into useful information that can help us understand living systems.

Outside the lab, I enjoy playing the drums, experimenting on the piano, and going for a swim whenever I can. This portfolio brings together the projects, skills, and ideas I’ve explored on my path as an engineer and researcher committed to impactful innovation.
