Meet the AIR Team
The Artificial Intelligence Research (AIR) Initiative brings together researchers from diverse disciplines, including medicine, information systems, biostatistics, mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, systems engineering, computer science, electrical and computer engineering, computing and data sciences, linguistics, mathematics and statistics, and physics. Their work aims to create intelligent systems that reliably make decisions, reason about data, and communicate with humans. AIR is led by Professor Kate Saenko.
