Machine learning and Precision Medicine
I'm interested in making Medicine better utilizing machine learning models and massive medical datasets. "Precision Medicine" is Medicine, and the proper application of modern machine learning can move us away from a paradigm of treating individuals based upon population level insights, to treating individuals based upon individualized evidence and insights.
Artificial intelligence and human intelligence
I'm interested in the basic computational mechanisms behind machine learning, and particularly how insights from human learning and neuroscience might advance the field of deep learning. I'm also interested in the converse, and hope that as we better understand deep learning we'll also understand human learning and human intelligence. Our group utilizes deep learning, mathematics, and neuroscience to tackle two questions: (1) What are the basic mechanisms responsible for human intelligence? (2) How can we build better artificial intelligence?
Philosophy of medicine
I'm interested in the core philosophical foundations of medical practice. Particularly ontological ethical theories.
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device and biotechnology companies to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their relationships with such companies.

Patients may wish to ask their physician about the activities they perform for companies.
Physicians who provide services at hospitals and facilities in the Mount Sinai Health System might not participate in the same health plans as those Mount Sinai hospitals and facilities (even if the physicians are employed or contracted by those hospitals or facilities).
Information regarding insurance participation and billing by this physician may be found on this page, and can also be obtained by contacting this provider directly. Because physicians insurance participation can change, the insurance information on this page may not always be up-to-date. Please contact this physician directly to obtain the most up-to-date insurance information.
Insurance and health plan networks that the various Mount Sinai Health System hospitals and facilities participate in can be found on the Mount Sinai Health System website.
