Background
  • 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.
