My research focuses on advancing machine learning and artificial intelligence, and using these to transform health care.
My research interests lie broadly in the area of artificial intelligence for social impact, particularly spanning the fields of multi-agent systems and data science for conservation and public health.
Michael’s research interests include developing learning algorithms for dealing with non-stationarity / dataset shift in predictive modelling, as well as robust learning of treatment policies from observational data.
Monica’s research interests include reasoning over longitudinal clinical notes, building more intelligent electronic health records, studying user-ML interactions in clinical settings, and developing algorithms that can incorporate domain knowledge.
Zeshan’s research interests include modelling time-series data, particularly clinical data, deep generative models, as well as chronic disease progression modelling.
Rebecca’s research interests include developing methods to learn disease progression models and discover new biological insights for precision medicine applications. She works on machine learning algorithms that can utilize clinical and genomic data for this purpose, with a particular focus on single cell RNA-sequencing data and cancer.
Christina is interested in applying machine learning to healthcare, detecting distribution shift and developing transfer learning algorithms, and evaluating treatments and reinforcement learning policies with causal inference.
Chandler’s research interests include causal structure learning, active learning and experimental design, and combining causal inference with modern machine learning techniques.
