Summary

  • I am an Assistant Professor of Radiology at Duke University School of Medicine and the Clinical Director of AI Research for Duke Radiology. I completed my residency at Brigham & Women's Hospital/Harvard Medical School and a fellowship in Neuroradiology at Duke University Hospital. While a senior resident, I worked at the MGH-BWH Center for Clinical Data Science on a suite of AI tools for neuroradiology applications. My current research is focused on developing systematic approaches to AI model development, testing and implementation to ensure that we are generating the highest quality tools and adequately monitoring their performance before and after deployment.
