I am an associate professor in the Computer Science Department at Emory University. I have a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin, and an MA and BS in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT. I previously co-founded a successful healthcare analytics company (Accordion Health) and worked at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
My research focuses on the development of novel data mining and machine learning algorithms to address problems in healthcare. Recent projects include identifying patient subgroups or phenotypes, integration of new streams of data, fusing different modalities of data (e.g., structured medical codes and unstructured text), and dealing with conflicting expert annotations.
My group is currently quite large, so I’m not actively recruiting new students this year. Visit my group page for the latest on openings and how to reach out.
