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:

• 🏥 Health Information Accessibility & Personalization
• 🩺 LLM Reasoning
• 🤖 Trustworthy AI for Medical Applications

I will be recruiting multiple PhD and master students from the iSchool (primarily) and CS programs starting in Fall 2026.
