Exciting news from UCLA! 🎉 Please join me in congratulating Prof. Yuzhe Yang, Assistant Professor of Computational Medicine and Computer Science, on receiving an Honorable Mention for the 2025 Edward H. Shortliffe Doctoral Dissertation Award from the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA). Prof. Yang’s award-winning dissertation, Machine Learning Approaches that Extend Healthcare: Algorithms & Applications, highlights his vital contributions to the future of medical informatics. Now directing the Health Intelligence Lab at UCLA, his team is pushing the boundaries of AI in medicine by developing trustworthy clinical algorithms, AI biomarkers, and multimodal language models like "SensorLM" to interpret wearable data. Already recognized on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list and celebrated by Nature Medicine for his breakthrough work on Parkinson's disease, Prof. Yang is proving to be a true next-generation leader in health intelligence.
