Yash Patel

Dr. Yash Patel serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Business and IT within the College of Business and Information Technology at Lawrence Technological University, where he bridges artificial intelligence with healthcare innovation through advanced medical image analysis research.

He earned both his Ph.D. and M.S. in Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, with his master's thesis implementing YOLOv3 for mobile wound detection applications and doctoral research developing novel deep learning architectures for medical imaging tasks.

His research program focuses on clinically relevant AI solutions, specifically:

• Advanced deep learning models for breast cancer and chronic wound analysis
• Integration of $$\text{CNNs}$$, transformer architectures, and $$\text{GANs}$$
• Semi-supervised learning techniques for real-world clinical scalability
• Mobile health applications for point-of-care diagnostics

Dr. Patel maintains active collaborations with physicians and medical researchers to ensure ethical implementation and clinical validity of his work, with publications accumulating over 100 citations in journals including $$\text{Scientific Reports}$$ (Nature), $$\text{IEEE Access}$$, and $$\text{Biomedical Signal Processing and Control}$$.

In pedagogy, he employs experiential learning through real-world datasets and tools like $$\text{PyTorch}$$, $$\text{TensorFlow}$$, and $$\text{Power BI}$$, while mentoring students in research and technical skill development for healthcare and business applications.
