Alaa Youssef

Postdoctoral Researcher

Stanford

I am a postdoctoral researcher specializing in AI ethics, healthcare AI, and human-computer interaction, with a strong focus on responsible AI evaluation and user experience for large language models (LLMs). I excel in creating value through:

  • Leading interdisciplinary research and practical applications that align AI development with ethical standards and public health goals, ensuring AI technologies are responsibly implemented.
  • Providing high-quality insights and frameworks to facilitate the integration of AI into healthcare systems, enhancing both medical device functionality and diagnostic accuracy.
  • Innovating in AI policy and governance, focusing on the ethical design, deployment, and user experience of AI technologies in complex healthcare environments.

Thriving in high-stakes, uncertain environments, I adeptly analyze complex phenomena to guide critical decision-making. My expertise in evaluating the ethical impacts of AI and optimizing LLM interfaces makes me a valued advisor on team dynamics, organizational readiness, and AI implementation strategies.

My core talent lies in my ability to innovate, foster interdisciplinary research, create a vision to translate complex novel ideas to tangible knowledge and deliverables. Currently, I am engaged in a health AI policy workshop, collaborating with stakeholders across healthcare, technology, and policy to optimize AI integration and regulatory practices.

As a leader, I am committed to mentoring and empowering teams, fostering an environment where innovative thinking and problem-solving thrive.
