Nature has a lot to teach us about how to design efficient systems. I get most excited about projects that marry technology and theory to tackle big problems in healthcare.
The way we currently organize and access health data obscures more often than it illuminates. I'm interested in developing better systems and methods for storing and accessing health records.
Our disease definitions are due for an update. They are based on a century of studies fueled by clinical intuition and small sample sizes. I'm interested in developing data-driven methods for automatically identifying diseases as well as their optimal treatment.
