Mentor of FIU Thrive ML Team - Fall 2022

Knight Foundation School of Computing and Information Sciences, FIU

A Collaborative Team Science Project of the Green Family Foundation Neighborhood Health Education Learning Program (NeighborhoodHELP) funded by the Florida Department of Health in Miami-Dade

Mentored Undergraduate Students: Rose De Sicilia (Fall'21 - Current)

FIU Thrive will advance health equity, systems transformation, public health response readiness, and the

management of health for patients and populations by aligning systems and data from patient consumers, community organizations, healthcare, social services, public health, and public policy into a coordinated health information technology ecosystem that centers on patients and their households as its point of integration. Ahmed is guiding the undergraduate student Rose to learn and apply machine learning using python programming in our FIU Thrive project.
