About Me – Gaurav Trivedi

I am helping build Suki.AI, an intelligent voice assistant for clinicians that lets them do what matters most.

My vision is to explore intelligent systems (Human+AI) in medicine and healthcare. This involves solving problems and challenges during design, development and adoption of interactive tools that can provide useful insights to clinicians, researchers, and patients.

I have a PhD in Intelligent Systems (Artificial Intelligence), from University of Pittsburgh, where my dissertation was on designing interactive methods for Natural Language Processing on Clinical records:

Interactive Natural Language Processing on Clinical Text

I hold an engineering bachelor’s degree in Information Technology from National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal. I have previously worked with Nvidia and Philips Advanced Innovation Group.

Here are links to my LinkedIn, Google Scholar and Github profiles, if you’d like to know more.

I enjoy Meditation and playing Badminton. I also play Tabla , an Indian musical drum (Youtube, Soundcloud). You can find my blog here.
