I’m a physician-scientist with a background in mathematics, physics, software engineering, and data science.
I am interested in all aspects of the intersection of the life sciences with software engineering and artificial intelligence. My vision is for the life sciences to not only be consumers of AI technologies, but to fundamentally drive the development of new algorithms, insights, and architectures. To that end, I collaborate with scientists, policymakers, healthcare professionals, engineers, machine learning experts and others to develop organizational strategies aimed at advancing the emerging interface between biomedicine and artificial intelligence. In parallel, I actively work with experts in the fields of biosafety, biosecurity, biomanufacturing, and the emerging bioeconomy. Related issues I am currently pursuing include avenues for modernizing the training of physician-scientists, methodologies for ensuring the reproducibility of research results across the life sciences, and leveraging an understanding of scientific and technological history to develop practical strategies for increasing organizational innovation.
