About

Agnideep Aich

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the HEAL Lab within the Department of Emergency Medicine at the Stanford University School of Medicine under the mentorship of Dr. Christian Rose. Previously, I completed my Ph.D. in Statistical Machine Learning at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette under Dr. Bruce Wade.

Outside research, I collect sunglasses and colognes, spend too much time thinking about fragrances, and I am an Arsenal fan. I also enjoy cars, EDM, movies, and TV shows, and I’m a huge MMA fan. Also, I love eating, and if I see a Raising Cane’s, my heart starts beating a little faster.

Research Interests

My work focuses on data science research at the intersection of statistical and machine learning methods, with an emphasis on analyzing clinical workflows, AI implementation in healthcare, and human-centered outcomes. More broadly, I am interested in statistical machine learning, dependence-aware modeling with copulas, predictive modeling, and population health. I am also interested in the theoretical side of statistical machine learning, but my primary focus is on applied methodological research that balances statistical rigor with practical relevance in complex biomedical and public health settings.

Experience

July 2026 – Present

Postdoctoral Researcher

Stanford University

August 2025 – December 2025

Statistical and Data Science Research Assistant

University of Louisiana at Lafayette

I analyzed public health datasets using statistical modeling, machine learning, and data visualization under Dr. Amanda Mayeaux. I also collaborated across public health, education, and kinesiology to frame research questions and design analyses, contributing to manuscripts in preparation.

August 2024 – May 2025

Research Assistant

Statistical Consulting Center, University of Louisiana at Lafayette

I provided statistical consulting, data analysis, and data visualization support to PhD students, faculty, and other clients. I also collaborated closely with researchers to translate study objectives into statistical questions and deliver robust, actionable solutions.

August 2020 – May 2024

Instructor of Record

University of Louisiana at Lafayette

I taught two sections each semester of Elementary Statistics (STAT 214) and Applied College Algebra (MATH 105). I also developed course materials including lectures, assignments, and exams, and received strong student feedback for clear communication and engagement.
