Andrew A. Gonzalez, MD JD MPH FACS is an Assistant Professor of Vascular Surgery at the Indiana University School of Medicine and Associate Director for Data Science at the Regenstrief Institute. His work is committed to bridging the "clinico-technical" divide by integrating artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) and design-thinking. Dr. Gonzalez served as the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) Omenn Fellow (2021-23) and as a Diagnostic Excellence Scholar (2024-25). He is funded by an NHLBI-K23 (HL-181388) to develop “An intelligent clinical decision support system for peripheral arterial disease.” This project seeks to provide “the right information, at the right time, in the right format” to assist front line providers in making challenging decisions by domain-adapt pretrained vision-language models to downstream multimodal tasks in vascular surgery.
His current projects include:
1. Development of physician-verifiable frameworks for multimodal clinical information processing.
2. Deployment of trustworthy AI-enhanced clinical decision support systems (CDSS).
3. Development of model-on-model benchmarking frameworks. The NIH AIM-AHEAD CLINAQ initiative has recently funded his work on “Adaptive Multimodal Benchmarking of Information and Knowledge Algorithms for Data Integration and Decision Intelligence” (Grant number 1OT2OD032581)
