Peter Washington

I am an incoming Assistant Professor in the Division of Clinical Informatics and Digital Transformation in the Department of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). Prior to this, I was/am an Assistant Professor in the Information & Computer Sciences department at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa until January 2025. Prior to this role, I completed my PhD in Bioengineering at Stanford University, MS in Computer Science at Stanford University, and BA in Computer Science at Rice University. You can read my PhD thesis here.

My research interests lie at the intersection of healthcare, human-centered computing, artificial intelligence / machine learning, and data science. I am interested in applying these methods to a variety of healthcare problems based on my personal interests and the passions of the clinical informaticians whom I train in my research lab.
