Co-founder/CEO @ Leah Health & AI Researcher

I’m the Co-founder/CEO of Leah Health where I am developing tools to help clinicians make smarter and faster decisions. Concurrently, I’m a AI Research Scientist at the MATRIX AI Consortium where I am developing a end-to-end solution for trauma care using AI. Previously, I completed my PhD at Johns Hopkins, where I was advised by Joshua T. Vogelstein. Here’s a little bit more about me.

Research

Here are some of my favorite research projects. If you want to read more, take a look at the full publication list.

  1. 📄 Minimizing and quantifying uncertainty in AI-informed decisions: Applications in medicine

    Introduces MIGHT, which helps quantify the amount of predictive information in very high-dimensional data. This was then used to develop and evaluate a biomedical assay to detect cancer early.

  2. 🗣️ Generative AI for Biomedical Decisions

    A talk giving a basic overview of how to practically get started with generative AI for a biomedical audience. This workshop was done as part of the NIH AIM-AHEAD DICB program.

  3. 📄 Universally Consistent K-Sample Tests via Dependence Measures

    Introduces the idea that the k-sample testing problem and independence testing problem are equivalent up to a transformation of the data.

  4. 📄 The Chi-Square Test of Distance Correlation

    Derives an approximation to the p-value of distance correlation that bypasses the permutation test with no significant loss of power.

Software

I love solving difficult problems, and often times develop software to help. You can see more in the full software list.
