AI Models - My research interests focus on developing and evaluating AI-based clinical prediction models, with the ultimate goal of improving patient outcomes and health care delivery. Additionally, I am working on developing and validating generative AI models, such as large language models, for use in clinical decision support, as well as exploring their potential to assist with clinical trial design and optimization. By leveraging the power of AI, I hope to contribute to the ongoing efforts to improve patient care and promote better health outcomes.
Why I'm Motivated to be a HIP Faculty Member:
My objectives are to provide MD students with modern data science education, collaborate with them on exciting data science projects, and explore how AI and machine learning can assist with complex real-world clinical tasks. I also aim to develop and test innovative AI solutions for high-impact clinical tasks in real-world clinical environments.
