Group

Prospective members

I plan to recruit PhD students in the iSchool and Computer Science, as well as master's students in Computer Science, beginning in Fall 2027. We also host summer research interns at UIUC. Please apply before January for the following summer so there is enough time to complete visa arrangements, if needed.

Research fit

I am looking for people who are genuinely curious about AI in medicine and want to spend sustained time on questions that matter to clinicians, patients, and researchers. Students often bring either strong machine-learning and coding skills or clinical and biomedical training; both paths are valued. What matters most is the ability to think critically about why a problem is important, what a result means, and where a method fails.

How we work

Mentoring changes as students grow. I provide close guidance early, including technical and implementation details when useful, and step back as students develop confidence and independence. We value rigorous methods, clear communication, consistent engagement, kindness, and respect. A student's success is a shared success for the group.
