Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLong Luu is a Director of Machine Learning with a PhD in Computational Neuroscience and eight years of experience bridging experimental cognitive science and production ML for healthcare and biotech. He transitioned from electrical engineering to psychology to ML, bringing a rare combination of rigorous quantitative modeling, human-subject experimentation, and deep learning expertise applied to clinical problems. At AstraZeneca he led deployment of digital endpoints and transformer-based NLP systems, and worked on wearable-derived mobility and cough-detection algorithms that materially reduce trial size and duration. His work spans Gaussian processes, transfer learning for wearables, generative synthetic medical data, and practical ML for trial risk prediction—skills that reflect both academic rigor and product delivery. Colleagues value his project leadership, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and a practitioner’s sense of ethical responsibility toward AI in healthcare. Based in Frederick, MD, he now scales ML impact from research prototypes to regulated clinical solutions.
