Jacob Nudel, MD

Jacob Nudel is an Assistant Professor of Surgery at the Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine and a 2026 Junior Faculty Fellow. Dr. Nudel utilized computational approaches to understand surgical decision-making. In one project, Dr. Nudel’s team showed that artificial neural networks and other advanced machine learning models can outperform traditional statistical approaches in predicting adverse outcomes after weight loss surgery. In his ongoing research, he employed machine learning techniques to understand the utilization of subspecialty obesity services at Boston Medical Center. In the process, he has developed custom software to parse and structure detailed electronic medical record data that he anticipates will open the door to a host of innovative and creative analyses across a range of clinical topics.
