About Illidan Lab

At the Intelligent Data Analytics (ILLIDAN) Lab @ University of Michigan, we are at the forefront of advancing data science and AI to tackle some of the most critical real-world challenges, commonly known as AI+X, with a special emphasis on health informatics. Our research is anchored in the vision of Unified Knowledge Integration - an innovative approach that harnesses AI to unify insights from large-scale, noisy, multimodal, and heterogeneous datasets. By seamlessly integrating domain knowledge with novel machine learning and generative AI techniques, we aim to transform various real-world domains, enhance decision making for data science through establishing the closed-loop flow of informatics among key components of human, data, and analytics. In the domain of health informatics, we develop novel tools and systems for improving the understanding, diagnosis, and intervention of diseases, especially Alzheimer’s.
