Research & Clinical Interest
My research interests span clinical topics from abdominal solid organ transplantation to intraoperative fluids, vasopressors, and outcomes research using retrospective EMR data and traditional and new-age techniques, including artificial intelligence. In addition, my non-clinical interest and expertise is in clinical informatics. I have worked with clinical databases for 10 years, including the MIMIC ICU database, Epic Clarity database at UCSF, and have created an institutional interdisciplinary perioperative data warehouse in abdominal organ transplant at UCSF. My goals in informatics are specifically to lead implementation of clinical database infrastructures, perioperative or hospital wide, to facilitate research/quality improvement, operations, and logistics for departments, and to use my dual background to liaise between clinical and technical teams to complete projects of high quality with ease.
