Scientist | Developer | Designer
I am a Lead Data Scientist at Precision Health, University of Michigan, and Health Information Technology & Services (HITS), Michigan Medicine. I work with key stakeholders to develop and implement AI & machine learning models at Michigan Medicine.
While pursuing my doctorate, I studied clinical early warning systems. I developed a design process for preparing event-based data intended for machine learning algorithms, with a dissertation titled, Developing and Applying a Design Framework to Prepare Electronic Health Record Data for Time-Series Modeling. I partnered with clinicians to develop a postpartum hemorrhage prediction model that outperformed existing systems used in maternal care at Michigan Medicine. I co-authored and applied an open-source framework for building a data pipeline that engineers features based on pre-defined design elements. My passion for this work stems from my interest in transforming research discoveries into bedside care through health IT and data science.
