Clinical machine learning group website

I am a Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT, part of the Institute for Medical Engineering & Science, the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, and the J-Clinic for Machine Learning in Health. My research focuses on advancing machine learning and artificial intelligence, and using these to transform health care. Previously, I was an Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Data Science at New York University.
