I am a Senior Research Scientist at the Galter Health Sciences Library & Learning Center at Northwestern University. I provide strategic and operational leadership for Galter’s research and knowledge management portfolio in priority areas such as open science, data science and artificial intelligence, digital infrastructures and repository systems, evaluation and continuous improvement, and the mobilization of computable biomedical knowledge. I have a background in both biomedical informatics and library management and services.
