Welcome to IntelSTATS Lab at Arizona State University, where we advance statistical science and develop trustworthy artificial intelligence to address important challenges in medicine and public health. I am Dr. Fahad Mostafa, Assistant Professor of Biostatistics and Data Science at ASU and Chief Scientist of IntelSTATS Lab. Inspired by Great Statistician Debabrata Basu’s foundational contributions to statistics, my research connects rigorous statistical reasoning with computational innovation. Our work spans statistical methodology, machine learning, biomedical data science, stochastic epidemiology, and biostatistics, with particular interests in longitudinal modeling, clinical trials, causal inference, disease dynamics, and uncertainty quantification.

Our mission is to translate complex health data into reliable evidence that improves disease prevention, early detection, treatment, and population health. We integrate electronic health records, genomics, large observational datasets, and real-world evidence to understand disease progression, evaluate interventions, and develop clinically useful prediction models. 

Through close collaboration with clinicians, epidemiologists, and health system leaders, we design pragmatic studies, translational research, and build AI systems whose performance, calibration, interpretability, and equity are carefully evaluated. Across these efforts, we aim to produce reproducible science and deployable tools that support clinical decisions, strengthen healthcare delivery, and improve outcomes for patients and communities.
