Rory Vu Mather
Postdoctoral Scholar, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
BioI'm a future physician-scientist working at the intersection of statistics, machine learning, and neural signal processing. As part of the Harvard/MIT MD-PhD Program, I recently completed my PhD in Medical Engineering & Medical Physics (MEMP) through the Harvard-MIT Health Sciences and Technology (HST) Program.
Currently I'm a postdoctoral fellow in pediatric anesthesiology with Dr. Jennifer Rabbitts and Dr. Cornelius Groenewald at Stanford, where I apply causal inference methods to large-scale electronic health record data to estimate how intraoperative decisions shape long-term postoperative pain and opioid outcomes in children.
I'm also interested in medical education and administration, particularly supporting minority populations such as LGBTQIA+ and Vietnamese communities. Outside of science, I bring a background in graphic design, marketing, and brand development for technology companies, universities, and non-profits. -
