Eric Karl Oermann is an instructor of neurological surgery in the Mount Sinai Health System and the director of AISINAI, Mount Sinai’s artificial intelligence research group. Prior to attending medical school, Eric spent six months with the President’s Council on Bioethics studying human dignity under the mentorship of physician-philosopher Edmund Pellegrino. He has won numerous awards for his scholarship, including fellowships from the American Brain Tumor Association and Doris Duke Charitable Research Foundation, where he was first exposed to neural networks and deep learning. He has published over 50 manuscripts spanning basic research on machine learning, tumor genetics, and the philosophy of medicine. As a PGY-2, he was selected as one of Forbes’s “30 under 30” for his work in applying machine learning to develop prognostic models for cancer patients. He’s interested in weakly supervised learning, reinforcement learning with imperfect information and in building artificial neural networks that more accurately model biological neural networks. As an actively practicing neurosurgeon, he is also interested in the application of deep learning to solve a wide range of problems in the medical sciences and improving clinical care. He holds an MD and studied mathematics at Georgetown University with a focus on differential geometry; he completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Google (Google Health/Verily Life Sciences).
