Brittany Baur is an Assistant Research Scientist on the Data Science Team at the Max Harry Weil Institute for Critical Care Research and Innovation. She obtained her Ph.D. in Computational Sciences from Marquette University in 2017 where her research focused on the inference of gene regulatory networks. She did her postdoctoral research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where she studied the role of non-coding genetic variation in the context of the 3D genome on diseases. Currently at the Weil Institute, Dr. Baur’s research focuses on monitoring AI/ML decision support tools being used in clinical settings, as model performance can degrade over time. She is interested in how clinicians may respond to the model and how that influences clinician intervention and patient outcomes. She is also interested in how other factors such resource availability influence model usage and decision-making. Dr. Baur also works on research projects that integrate data from wearable devices, electronic health records, and bedside monitors to develop models to predict patient deterioration or disease outcomes.
