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 build AI systems that deliver the best, most equitable care at scale, while keeping the trust of patients and clinicians.

I teach physiology and medical statistics at the University of Cambridge, and have led several 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 🎤!
