Faculty Bio
I am a Professor in the Department of Anesthesiology, Pharmacology & Therapeutics at the University of British Columbia (UBC) and the Executive Medical Director for Global Health at British Columbia’s Children’s Hospital, Vancouver Canada. I was a Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research Scholar and the Brockhouse Canada Prize for Interdisciplinary Research winner in 2011. I lead an interdisciplinary research team of engineers and clinicians who develop and evaluate novel technical solutions (devices and smart applications) to improve women’s and children’s health outcomes worldwide. As a team, we combine science and engineering to create cutting-edge technology that uses clinical data, automation and smart physical sensors to improve outcomes. Our focus is on extracting important data features from devices and using predictive and machine learning models based on large population datasets to provide accessible decision-making support at all levels of healthcare in every area of the world.
