Neil Sardesai
Final-Year Medical Student | Engineer
Hey everyone! I’m a final-year Cambridge medical student with an engineering degree, currently researching clinical AI at Harvard University under Prof. Arjun Manrai and building cool tools on the side.
AI in healthcare is moving rapidly. My goal is to develop AI systems that allow for the best equitable practice at scale, leveraging data and technology, while maintaining patient and clinician trust.
I teach physiology and medical statistics at the University of Cambridge, and have a leadership experience across a number of societies and groups (including Health Futures, the UK's largest student-run AI for Health conference).
In my free time I love playing volleyball 🏐, squash , badminton 🏸, and singing 🎤!
