معرفی
Ke Wu is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan. Their research focuses on the intersection of machine learning, biostatistics, and healthcare technology, with an emphasis on mobile health interventions, causal inference, and Bayesian methods. They lead a small, hands-on research group mentoring PhD students and postdocs. Key interests include developing predictive models for health outcomes, improving treatment effect estimation, and leveraging mobile technology for caregiver support. Their work has addressed critical challenges in clinical decision-making, public health surveillance, and healthcare innovation.
Research projects span synthetic data generation for electronic health records, mHealth app development for care partners of traumatic brain injury patients, and algorithmic fairness in reinforcement learning. Ke Wu emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration and has contributed to global health studies, including analyses of pneumonia etiology in low-resource settings and the PERCH study. Their group's methodologies often integrate wearable sensor data and machine learning to address real-world health challenges.
Advising priorities include fostering student independence while maintaining close mentorship, with expectations for consistent research productivity and professional development. Students are encouraged to pursue teaching roles (e.g., GSI positions) and internships aligned with career goals. Funding support for conference participation is available through institutional and external grants.
Ke Wu's contributions extend to statistical methodology, including Bayesian latent class models and dynamic risk prediction frameworks. They actively engage in translational research, bridging computational methods with clinical and public health applications, and prioritize open-source software development to advance reproducible research practices.
