I am a computer science PhD Student in MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and Brigham and Women's Hospital's Divison of Genetics and Center for Data Sciences where I am lucky enough to be co-advised by Bonnie Berger (MIT) and Po-Ru Loh (Harvard). With the rise of high-throughput DNA sequencing and electronic health care records, the medical field is producing more data than nearly any other human endeavour. Buried in the billions of bytes of data produced every day are deep insights into the origins of and improved treatments for complex diseases. The challenge is to efficiently leverage meaning from the tidal wave of data. I design new stastistical and machine learning algorithms to meet this challenge. My ultimate goal is to enable medicine to provide personalized care tailored to every person's individual qualities and needs.
