School of Medicine

In particular, I hope to develop technologies that can lead to better outcomes for patients hospitalized with liver disease.

After earning a bachelor’s degree in engineering at Princeton University, I earned my combined medical and business degrees at the Perelman School of Medicine and the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. I completed a residency in internal medicine and fellowships in gastroenterology and transplant hepatology at UCSF. While at UCSF, I also completed a certificate program in advanced clinical research training, with a focus on data science. I am a faculty member in the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology in the UCSF Department of Medicine, an affiliate faculty in the UCSF Bakar Computational Health Sciences Institute, and an affiliate faculty in the UCSF-UC Berkeley Joint Program in Computational Precision Health.
