Biography

I’m a physician-engineer in training. My mission is to advance health by harnessing the power of data.

My work is in the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and medicine, with specific research interests spanning clinical informatics, machine learning, and operations research. I am a seventh-year Medical Scientist Training Program Fellow (MD-PhD student) at the University of Michigan. My doctoral research focused on creating AI tools for patients, physicians, and health systems. I have led work across the AI lifecycle with projects advancing from model development to validation, technical integration, and workflow implementation. I was co-advised by Dr. Brian Denton (Industrial and Operations Engineering) and Dr. Jenna Wiens (Computer Science and Engineering).

I am also interested in incorporating education about AI tools into medical curricula. I have a professional background in health IT development, having worked at Epic and later leading a healthcare data science team. I have a Master’s of Engineering from the University of Wisconsin. After completion of my MD-PhD training, I plan on pursuing residency training.
