Hello! I am specializing in Health Informatics and Natural Language Processing (NLP). My research focuses on leveraging AI/NLP to enhance the accessibility and personalization of health information, bridging the gap between complex medical knowledge and diverse healthcare consumers, clinicians, and researchers. Trained as a physician and epidemiologist before transitioning to health informatics, I bring a multidisciplinary perspective to AI-driven solutions in medicine.

Ongoing projects:

• Enhancing health information accessibility and personalization for healthcare consumers
• Leveraging large language models (LLMs) for clinical diagnosis and predictive modeling
• Extracting and synthesizing medical evidence to improve knowledge utilization

I will be recruiting multiple PhD students from the iSchool and CS programs starting in Fall 2025. If you’re interested in working with me, please fill out this form.
