Dr. Suchi Saria is the John C. Malone Associate professor of computer science, statistics, and health policy, and the founding Director of the Machine Learning, AI and Healthcare Lab at Johns Hopkins. She is also the founder and CEO of Bayesian Health.
Her research has pioneered the development of next generation diagnostic and treatment planning tools that use AI and machine learning methods to individualize care. In sepsis, a life-threatening condition, her work first demonstrated the use of machine learning to integrate diverse signals to make early detection possible (Science Trans. Med. 2015). In Parkinson's, her work showed a first demonstration of using readily-available sensors to easily track and measure symptom severity at home, which can serve to optimize treatment management (JAMA Neurology 2018).
She was named by IEEE Intelligent Systems as Artificial Intelligence’s “10 to Watch” (2015), MIT Technology Review’s ‘35 Innovators under 35’ (2017), World Economic Forum’s Young Global Leader (2018), DARPA Young Faculty Awardee (2016) and a Sloan Research Fellow (2018). She was invited to join the National Academy of Engineering’s Frontiers of Engineering (2017) and the National Academy of Medicine’s Emerging Leaders in Health and Medicine (2018). She has given over 250 invited talks and is on the editorial boards of the Journal of Machine Learning Research and Critical Care Explorations.
