AI Research & Workforce Development Biostatistics Education Process Provenance

Steve Grambow

Associate Professor of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics

I study how AI can strengthen human judgment in academic and clinical research. My work brings together biostatistics, education, and workforce development to help researchers and institutions develop the skills, validation practices, and governance needed to use AI responsibly. Through Process Provenance, I focus on making AI-assisted work transparent, accountable, and fit for real-world research and learning.
