I’m a physician-scientist currently training as a clinical pathologist at Harvard and Mass General Brigham. My PhD work focused on statistics, bioinformatics, and machine learning.
Outside of medicine, I’ve spent time in venture capital and enjoy thinking about how emerging technologies can address real problems. My current projects center on building multimodal foundation models and their applications. I’m also involved in building companies in this space, trying to bridge the gap between research and practical applications.
I write about these topics and try to share interesting ideas from others working on similar problems here.
