My research involves developing methods to determine the risk factors of different types of infection in patients using Electronic Health Records. In addition to the quantification of risk factors, I am working on recommendation systems that will provide treatment recommendations for those patients. I am also working on the prediction of missing links in knowledge graphs and visualizations of induced subgraphs of knowledge graphs derived from text mining.

David is a CSE PhD student passionate about using machine learning to improve human health and medical care. His current work involves mining multi-scalar biomedical relations from research publications to construct large-scale knowledge graphs of biomedical information. This information is then analyzed using graph neural networks to synthesize understanding about disease etiology and to identify new research targets for clinical research and drug repurposing.

My research interests lie in applying tools from physics and physics principles to medical problems. How can what we know about stability translate to somebody’s life? How do systems in equilibrium react to different perturbations? How do systems away from equilibrium react to perturbations?

I have worked on setting up a website where the lab’s curated content will be hosted and available for search. I am currently contributing to building the next-gen Semnet by working on developing embedding for nodes in a heterogeneous graph. I am also interested in Reinforcement learning and its applications in personalized medical treatment.

My interests lie where the realms of healthcare and computer science intersect: Precision Medicine. This approach takes into account the personal characteristics of a specific patient (e.g. genes, environment, lifestyle) and comes up with a personalized treatment. With this kind of approach, doctors and researchers can predict more accurately which treatment and prevention strategies for a particular disease will work in which groups of people. In the lab, I am currently focused on a precision-based approach for pediatric acute leukemia.
