Andrew Chen
Bio
I am researcher with a deep interest in applying Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence methodologies in safety-critical healthcare systems. Through my hackathons, internships, and research experience, I have an extensive understanding in the lifecycle of both research methodologies and data intensive software systems. I am able to bridge the gap between theory and execution, making me a rare full-stack researcher capable of translating the research goal into practice via data preprocessing pipelines and deployable software artifacts.
