Griffen

Hi! My name is Zach Griffen and I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Population Health at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine as well as an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Applied Statistics, Social Science, and Humanities at NYU Steinhardt. Previously, I received my PhD in Sociology from UCLA, where I also taught courses at the Institute for Society and Genetics and served as an Editorial Assistant for the journal Social Science & Medicine. I study the effects of quantification on social policy. My current work is primarily about the regulation and governance of AI models in healthcare, though I also conduct research on the economic measurement of social programs and the computation of genetic risk scores. Finally, I am writing a book, How Management Made Medicine: The Evolution of 'Quality Improvement' from Industrial Production to Medical AI.
