    Collapse Overview 
    Collapse Overview
    I am a gastroenterologist and transplant hepatologist who cares for patients with liver diseases, including patients waiting for a liver transplant.

    My research focuses on using clinical informatics, data science and artificial intelligence to improve care for patients with complex medical issues and advanced liver disease. 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 became a faculty member in the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology in the UCSF Department of Medicine and an affiliate faculty in the UCSF Bakar Computational Health Sciences Institute in 2022.
