Data Science Instructor
Ryan Henning is a Software Engineer turned Data Scientist. Ryan worked in industry on a large C++ data acquisition (DAQ) framework as a Software Engineer before returning to academia. In graduate school, Ryan researched deep neural networks (deep learning) for image processing and classification, specifically using neural networks to detect leukocoria in photos of children. Leukocoria is a cardinal symptom of a common pediatric cancer, retinoblastoma. Ryan and his colleges at Baylor deployed this research in an iOS app that is saving lives around the world.
