Research

AI methods that stay reliable when data are heterogeneous, incomplete, and high-stakes.

01

Trustworthy & reliable AI

Uncertainty quantification and fairness — models that know when they don't know and treat people equitably.

02

Multimodal & generative AI

Learning across images, records, and time series, and building generative models that can be trusted.

03

AI for healthcare

Medical imaging, longitudinal health data, and Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD).
