Senior Machine Learning Scientist,

About me:

As a Senior Machine Learning Scientist at CVS Health, I lead the development and deployment of machine learning solutions, including Generative AI, that drive customer satisfaction and improve healthcare outcomes.

I obtained my PhD from the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), advised by Leila Wehbe. My research focused on the intersection of machine learning, natural language processing (NLP) and healthcare. In particular, I developed machine learning methods to increase our understanding of how our brains process real-world language, images, and environments in both health and disease states. Additionally, my expertise extends to developing machine learning methods for graph-based problems and causality.

Before joining CMU, I earned a MSc in Integrated Systems Biology from the University of Luxembourg and a MS in Interdisciplinary Natural Sciences (now known as Cancer Sciences) from the University at Buffalo, Roswell Park Cancer Institute. My Master’s thesis delved into pharmacogenomics, investigating the impact of Vitamin D on Prostate Cancer, advised by Barbara Foster.

With a Ph.D. with a focus on natural language processing and a diverse background in interdisciplinary research, my passion lies in propelling innovation in industry.
