Dr. Mattie's research focuses on the intersection between biostatistics, data science, and network science. Specifically, she has used network science and machine learning to study interactions in communities, as well as the development and application of artificial intelligence in healthcare research. Her research has also involved the notion of algorithmic fairness, in terms of an algorithm compounding inequities working against underrepresented or disadvantaged groups in society. Her work has found links between unhealthy weight control behaviors and the use of mobile dating applications, particularly in racial and ethnic minorities. She has developed methods that predict tie strength in a network, which assists in modeling the spread of disease and information. Additionally, her work has examined the potential for artificial intelligence to improve inference from data for care and population health, as well as the challenges related to bias and scalability in such models.
Dr. Mattie is involved in the diversity and inclusion efforts of the Biostatistics department and enjoys mentoring students.

Amber Nigam, SM ’23, and Jie Sun, SM ’22, co-founded a tech startup called basys.ai in order to create an easy-to-use app that helps diabetes patients manage their disease.
As algorithms analyze mammograms and smartphones capture lived experiences, researchers are debating the use of ai in public health.
The potential for artificial intelligence (AI)to reshape the field of health care — to help improve diagnosis and enable an increasingly precision approach to medicine — may seem boundless. But the lack of technological infrastructure, nascent policy debates,…
People who use dating apps appear to have substantially higher odds of having eating disorders compared with those who don’t use the apps, according to a new study from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. The researchers…
