A Little Bit About Myself

I am currently an Associate Professor at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in the Department of Health Data Science and Biostatistics with a secondary appointment in the Department of Health Economics, Systems and Policy, both within the O’Donnell School of Public Health. My current research efforts address medical image segmentation and using LLMs and other tools to improve the patient experience. Prior to joining the University of Melbourne, I have held faculty positions at the University of Melbourne (Australia), University of Utah, University of California, San Diego, and the University of Pittsburgh.

I am passionate about empowering patients to become the team leader in managing their health. I believe that it is important for informatics students be exposed to the historical conversation that entails biomedical informatics as well as to the philosophical issues raised by our work. I also believe you can never know enough mathematics.
