I'm a physician-scientist, founder, and writer in California.
Medicine is becoming more computational before it has become more certain. My work asks how clinicians should make decisions when evidence is incomplete, biological signals are noisy, and increasingly capable models are entering the clinical conversation.
I work as a surgeon and scientist at the University of California, San Francisco. My research develops evaluation frameworks for foundation models in medicine, with a focus on calibration, reliability, safety, and performance under clinical uncertainty. I also study how clinical genomics and machine learning can help surgeons make better treatment decisions in — or in lieu of — the operating room.
Earlier, I co-founded Memora Health, a care navigation company acquired by Commure, and worked on the life sciences investment team at Bessemer Venture Partners. At Harvard, my graduate work applied reinforcement learning to precision oncology and identified genomic predictors of immunotherapy response in head and neck cancer.
I write about medicine, health policy, and economics, including for the Financial Times, Washington Post, and POLITICO. My work has been cited in U.S. Senate testimony and by the National Academy of Medicine.
Outside the hospital, I think about Tadao Ando architecture, Yirgacheffe tasting notes, Federer as religious experience.
