Franya Hutchins, PhD

I am an epidemiologist focusing on methods in observational research and working with mentor Dr. Rosland on the High-Risk Complex Patient Analytics and Care team. This research uses latent variable modeling to identify clinically-distinct subgroups among high-risk complex patients, with the ultimate goal of improving patient care and outcomes. My long-term research goals include incorporating epidemiologic methods in big data analysis to interrupt the recreation of race, gender, and disability-based inequity in machine learning algorithms. In my free time, I’m a bad gardener.
