I’m interested in how machine learning can help doctors make better decisions, like whom to test for heart attack. It can also help researchers make new discoveries by ‘seeing’ the world the way algorithms do, finding new causes of pain that doctors miss or linking personalized body temperature to health outcomes.

I’m generally optimistic about machine learning, but my work has also shown where it can go wrong, for example how widely-used algorithms affecting millions of patients automate and scale up racial bias. That work has impacted how many organizations build and use algorithms, and how lawmakers and regulators hold AI accountable.

I co-founded Nightingale, a non-profit that makes massive new medical imaging datasets available for research. I also co-founded Dandelion, a venture-backed startup that aims to jump-start AI innovation in health.

I’m a Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Investigator, and a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research.

I was named one of the 100 most influential people in AI by TIME Magazine, and an Emerging Leader by the National Academy of Medicine.
