Mauricio Santillana Catalyst Profile

Overview

My current research utilizes mathematical concepts of machine learning for:
(a) the design and implementation of novel ways to track epidemic outbreaks around the Globe in real-time, using data from: Google searches, Twitter microblogs, Electronic Health Records, and news reports, and
(b) to improve patient outcomes and reduce hospital costs in Critical Care Medicine.
