Students

Warm congratulations to my 109th PhD student, Eli Pivo, on the successful defense of his thesis, “A Holistic Approach for the Simulation, Evaluation, and Design of Organ Transplantation Policies in the U.S.” Eli has developed a unified simulator for organ transplantation outcomes across all major organs (kidney, liver, heart, lungs, and pancreas). The system runs in a matter of seconds and enables near real-time simulation and design of transplantation policies. Eli will continue his efforts at MIT, and I very much look forward to working together.

Congratulations to my 108th PhD student, Matthew Peroni, who successfully defended his thesis entitled "Adaptive Machine Learning." Matthew is continuing his career at IBM. I wish you the very best, Matthew!

Congratulations to my 107th PhD student, George Margaritis, on the successful defense of his thesis, “Holistic AI for Medicine, Explainability and Optimization.” George will be continuing his career at Meta. Wishing you all the best, George!
