About:
My research is broadly in the area of distributed, intelligent systems, specifically at the junction of health information technology, machine learning, and robotics. I am interested in problems such as computationally modeling behavior and interactions, integrating machines and networked systems with mixed levels of autonomy into environments with humans, and the creation of new tools that aid in patient disease management and education as well as healthcare delivery.
