Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLasith Adhikari is a data engineer and applied research scientist with nearly a decade of experience building ML-driven healthcare solutions, currently developing AI-enabled patient flow and capacity products at Philips in Cambridge. He combines deep expertise in simulation, statistical modeling, and signal/image processing with hands-on data engineering—designing patented real-time hospital census forecasting and XGBoost-based discharge prediction models that achieved >90% accuracy in production. His background includes leading analytic and engineering teams for prospective hospital deployments, rigorous CI/CD and QA practices, and high-impact academic work (including a top-cited PLOS ONE paper on intraoperative risk prediction). Comfortable at the intersection of research and product, he has a track record of turning complex physiological and time-series data into actionable clinical software. Notably, he bridges theory and practice: his PhD in applied mathematics underpins scalable algorithms used in live hospital systems.
