I'm both a researcher and director of data science at PatientsLikeMe. I grew up in Cleveland, OH, but have lived in the Boston, MA area for almost 20 years. Since earning my Ph.D. in physics in 1992, I have applied computer simulation and modeling to a wide variety of scientific/medical problems. I am now using that experience to try to understand and ultimately improve the outcomes of patients at PLM. I am also in charge of helping both our team and our research collaborators do the best science we can with your data. Thank you so much for sharing with us!
