Spotlight on Mihaela van der Schaar

#WomenInELLIS
Get to know Mihaela van der Schaar, John Humphrey Plummer Professor of Machine Learning, AI and Medicine, at the University of Cambridge 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

She’s an ELLIS Fellow involved in both the ELLIS Unit Cambridge and the ELLIS Program ELLIS Health.

She says, “A central goal for me is to reorient our work in AI/ML toward what I call Reality-Centric AI: AI that can operate effectively, reliably, and accountably in the real world. Nowhere is this more important than in medicine…to make solutions that are more equitable, efficient and adaptive.”
