Hello. 

I care about solving problems in society. I do this through innovation.

I helped create an innovation team at the Seattle Children’s Hospital. I worked on several projects aimed at promoting innovation through creative problem solving in the hospital. I identified barriers to innovation during my tenure there, and moved to the Lundquist College of Business to better understand these barriers through the lens of management. I studied the science of collaboration, problem solving, and innovation. I focused specifically on the effects of artificial intelligence (AI) on the functioning and outcomes of an organization.

I have published in the Academy of Management on how the share of agency between AI and humans in collaboration affects an organization's knowledge, learning, and decision making. I care about access to knowledge. I work on designing and developing large language model (LLM) based workflows to identify and process knowledge to solve problems at hand. My experience working in a process improvement division at Seattle Children’s and expertise in knowledge networks, sociology of science, and strategy I gained from my masters in management science puts me in a unique position to develop and augment workflows in healthcare with artificial intelligence.

 

I developed an AI system (accessed at medkb.org) to answer medical questions rooted in literature, utilizing PubMed's repertoire of 1.6 million open source publications. The system runs completely locally, including the AI models in them, on a consumer grade desktop. It is a proof of concept for what organizations can build internally, instead of outsourcing this to AI companies, leading to organizational knowledge leak and loss of strategic advantage.

I am motivated towards serving to the benefit of society. I volunteer for the Behavioral Science and Policy Association (BSPA) to build an AI powered system system to connect organizations, job seekers, and funding sources in the field of behavioral science. The BSPA has advised global bodies including the white house on matters relating to organizational improvements through behavioral science. I also volunteer for the Academy of Management’s Fellows group to help make scholarly productivity more relevant for societal and managerial problems, through the Responsible Research in Business and Management.

​

I am currently looking for positions to help organizations innovate with Artificial Intelligence.
