Joe Futoma
Associate In Research
I'm a 5th year Ph.D. student in Statistical Science
at Duke
advised by Katherine Heller
and funded on an NDSEG
fellowship. I work on developing new (mostly Bayesian) machine learning methods to solve real clinical problems in the Duke healthcare system. In the past I've worked on models to predict surgical complications, and on time series and event-time models to predict disease progression and adverse events in patients with chronic kidney disease. Recently, I've been working on a deep learning model that we're deploying in Duke Hospital to improve early detection of sepsis. Before Duke, I obtained my AB in mathematics
at Dartmouth College
working with Dan Rockmore
on time-varying topic models and on scalable inference in Bayesian network models.
