Research

My overarching goal is to turn health data into clinical insights and applications by using advanced statistical and machine learning (ML) methods. More specifically, my lab works on the development and application of ML methods to be able to integrate clinical data of different types in risk prediction of diabetic complications. We are doing so while actively listening to the users’ voices and by building bridges between clinicians and the data science community.
