I have over a decade of leading AI initiatives to enhance scientific discovery, evidence-based decision-making, and healthcare efficiency. Prior to accepting a position at York University (YU), I was a Scientist and Health Lead at Vector Institute, where I directed seven large-scale and thought leadership projects with organizations such as Public Health Ontario, Unity Health Toronto, and Trillium Health Partners, as well as three industry collaborations, engaging over 20+ industry stakeholders and 50+ scientists. I provided scientific leadership for these projects, ensuring successful outcomes.

As foundation models become more powerful, the real challenge is figuring out how to integrate them in ways that support and strengthen, rather than replace, the human-centered nature of healthcare. My research contributes toward making foundation models evolve as dynamic and adaptive tools to enhance health through iterative learning, alignment, and interpretability.
