Research
My research focuses on advancing methodological development and artificial intelligence (AI) to better understand multiple sclerosis (MS) and immune-mediated diseases. By integrating genetic, clinical, imaging, and biomarker data, I develop predictive models to improve risk stratification, enable earlier detection, and guide personalized treatment strategies. I am engaged in applying federated and secure AI methods to health data to ensure that models are both clinically meaningful and equitable across populations, with an emphasis on translating multimodal data into practical tools that support prevention, prognosis, and precision care.
