About

I am a board-certified Emergency Medicine physician with extensive experience practicing in high-acuity, high-volume emergency departments. I remain clinically active, with a strong foundation in resuscitation, diagnostic decision-making, and emergency department operations. In parallel with my clinical work, I have completed formal training in applied artificial intelligence for healthcare. My training focuses on how AI tools are developed, validated, and safely deployed in real-world clinical environments, particularly in high-risk, time-pressured settings. My interests are in emergency medicine and applied clinical AI, with an emphasis on evaluation, governance, and workflow integration.
