Dr. David Albers Lab
Dr. David Albers lab focuses on advancing biomedicine using:
-data assimilation of both clinician and patient collected data to forecast physiology and compute new phenotypes
-health care process modeling and analysis
-temporal-focused spectral analysis and information theoretic tools
-mechanistic physiologic models using clinical data
-discovering phenotypes using temporal information within clinical data
-visualizing patient health evolution in an intensive care setting
-deconvolving biases present in clinical data
-computational machinery based on variational inference to discover features that can be used to define phenotypes and other clinically actionable quantities
