Personal Statement
My clinical research spans all aspects of head and neck imaging. My Informatics research has historically been in the arena of user interfaces, but I have recently shifted focus to Large Language Models. I am the editor of the SIIM textbook on Imaging Informatics, currently in its second edition, which is the recommended textbook for Informaticians preparing for the ABII certification examination. In 2020, I was named a Fellow of the Society of Imaging Informatics.
