The postdoc will conduct research in two areas. The first area is generative AI and large language models for general applications. The second area is AI’s applications in medicine, including medical imaging, genetics, and AI-powered smart glasses and assistive robots for individuals with visual impairments. The postdoc will have access to abundant resources for education, career development and research both from the Harvard hospital campus and Harvard University campus. More than half of our postdocs secured a faculty position after their time in our lab.
