Alex J. DeGrave researches artificial intelligence in medicine. His PhD focused on understanding, from a medical standpoint, the "reasoning processes" of medical-image AI, with emphasis on how these systems depend on both medically significant factors similar to those used by doctors, as well as image-acquisition artifacts and other likely undesirable signals. For more information on his research, refer to his publications.

In his free time, Alex climbs, skis, and photographs the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. See his photography here.
