Intae Moon

Hello! My name is Intae (pronounced IN-teh) and I'm currently pursuing a PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). I've been advised by Professor Alexander Gusev at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School and Professor Marzyeh Ghassemi at CSAIL, MIT. Before starting my current PhD thesis work, I was advised by Professor David Perreault at MIT Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE) and worked on electrical energy conversion and control for my master's thesis. I received B.S. in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.

I'm interested in improving deployability of machine learning models by making them robust to real-world data issues such as missing data, heterogeneity, and dataset shifts in critical decision-making settings like healthcare. In terms of practical applications, my research involves developing machine learning-based approaches at the intersection of Electronic Health Records (EHR) and genomics data for improving clinical management of patients with cancer.
