We collaborate widely across Microsoft Research and partners to train large vision-language models for healthcare. I've been working in AI for health for about 10 years now. The community is small. You did a PhD in Astronomy and Astrophysics. I would say my career journey is probably quite unique. Many people working in this field come from computer science or maybe even specifically from computer vision. In my case, I started with physics, as I have a bachelor and a master in theoretical physics. I did my PhD on computational astrophysics. There were a lot of images involved, a lot of computation of things and algorithms also there. Some Bayesian statistics, but it was definitely a very, very different application. Still, there was something common, the passion for learning from data, learning something. And obviously a lot of technical skills about how you code and also how you frame your problem - research skills. What are the problems that you should solve. And then I still did a postdoc in this area. And then after the postdoc, I decided that I wanted to be a bit closer to the real world, like having an impact.
