Consulting: Domain-specific expertise
Medical imaging + AI in radiology
I keep up with advances in AI in medical imaging/radiology, and have extensive expertise to draw on for signal generation and image capture (hardware) as well as image processing/reconstruction (software).
In 2017, I wrote Picture Perfect: AI + Medical Imaging for a general audience. Despite the date, a decent proportion of the piece remains relevant.
Jeff Fessler (one of my professors in grad school) works on the cutting edge of ML in medical imaging. Jeff’s numerous papers on arXiv and talks are excellent resources. An Introduction to Score Based Generative Models is a great place to start exploring techniques for applying GenAI in medical imaging.
Bridging industry & academia
I spent a number of years working in roles that involved crafting project proposals and agreements between academic research groups and industry. Tremendous value can be found in such collaborations, but they can be tricky to set up for success. I’ve resolved dozens of stalemates to unblock the path - I speak the language on either side, and understand both institutional and commercial/corporate constraints.
Operations
My operations experience is broad, spanning organizational strategy to financial management to stakeholder engagement. I have extensive experience designing and implementing robust operational infrastructure, from process optimization to implementing requisite technologies. I’ve tackled operational challenges in a variety of environments, meeting organizational needs while optimizing team ‘UX’ on processes and tech interfaces.
