Mentor Areas

Developing and applying smarter machine learning (ML) is critical to biomedical data mining and many other real world applications. The URBS-lab is focused on investigating interpretable ML and artificial intelligence methods that can select features and generate predictive/interpretable models, in the presence of complex associations. Tackling these challenges can improve our understanding of disease etiology, risk prediction, and personalized medicine.

Description:

Please note that my lab is located at the Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. As such, currently I can only co-mentor students (paid or unpaid) in collaboration with another primary faculty mentor at UPenn. Projects will vary. Interested students should contact us to discuss possibilities.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with programming in Python and/or other coding languages (mastery of basics preferred, but commitment to learn welcome). Interest and/or experience in machine learning, data analysis, informatics, and/or statistics encouraged.
