Thomas Kannampallil, PhD, FAMIA is an Associate Professor of Anesthesiology at the Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis. I also have affiliate appointments at the Institute for Informatics Data Science and Biostatistics (I2DB) and the Department of Computer Science at the McKelvey School of Engineering.
In my operational role(s), I am the Assistant Dean for Data Science and the Chief Data Scientist for WashU Medicine. I also serve as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Biomedical Informatics.
My research interests are broadly in the areas of clinical decision support and in the use of machine learning approaches for improving clinical cognition and patient safety.
Currently, I am the PI/MPI on multiple R01s through the National Library of Medicine, National Institute on Aging and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
Previously, I was the inaugural Director for Acute Care Innovation Research in the Department of Anesthesiology and the Associate Chief Research Information Office for WashU Medicine.
Prior to WashU Medicine, I was the Director of primary care informatics research at University of Illinois, and assistant director of the Center for Cognitive Studies in Medicine and Public Health at the New York Academy of Medicine.
