Elizabeth Healey
Ph.D. Candidate working on Machine Learning for Healthcare
Hello! I am a PhD candidate in the Harvard–MIT Health Sciences and Technology program advised by Isaac Kohane and supported by the National Science Foundation GRFP. My research focus is in harnessing physiological signals and observational health data to enhance clinical decision-making and understand disease heterogeneity. My ongoing work concentrates on using continuous glucose monitoring to enable precision medicine for patients with type 2 diabetes.
Previously, I graduated magna cum laude from Harvard College with an S.B. degree in Electrical Engineering where I worked on biomedical control for the artificial pancreas.

Teaching
I have been on the teaching team of multiple graduate and undergraduate courses during my training across topics in electrical engineering, machine learning, and translational methods in bioinformatics. I was previously a Teaching Development Fellow and earned a teaching certificate by completing the Graduate Teaching Development tracks at MIT.
