Gilmer Valdes Ph.D., DABR

Vice Chair of Machine Learning/Director of Clinical AI
Moffitt Cancer Center

Beginning with my foundational training in medical physics and evolving through a specialized residency in Therapeutic Medical Physics, my trajectory has been one of merging clinical insights with innovative data-driven research. Early endeavors in harnessing machine learning for patient outcomes took a pivotal turn during my K08 award, where I was privileged to work closely with Dr. Jerome Friedman, one of the pioneering fathers of Statistical Learning, at Stanford. His teachings catalyzed my drive for innovations such as the Additive Tree. Further refining my craft, my...
