Masha Bondarenko

I graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in Electrical Engineering & Computer Science in 2024. I currently work as a deep learning researcher in the Sohn Lab at UCSF, where I collaborate with doctors and engineers to solve the biggest challenges within radiology diagnostics and workflows. My technical interests have spanned risk modeling (via vision FMs, diffusion/GANs, UNets) and have recently expanded into uncertainty quantification and adversarial analyses within clinical VLMs.
