Interdisciplinary researchers, clinicians, and student collaborators

Team

AI4ED brings together expertise in emergency medicine, machine learning, informatics, social science, and engineering to build clinically grounded AI tools for emergency department workflows.

Our team is organized into four groups: Project Leads, Researchers, Clinicians, and Students. Together, these collaborators shape the scientific direction, technical implementation, and real-world relevance of the AI4ED project.
