Biography
Aarti Sathyanarayana is an assistant professor in the Khoury College of Computer Sciences and the Bouvé College of Health Sciences at Northeastern University, based in Boston.
Sathyanarayana’s research strives to improve human health and performance through digital phenotyping and biomarker discovery. She aims to translate enigmatic digital health data collected from smartphones, wearables, and biomedical devices into actionable insights for clinical care and personal wellness. Her work has developed new signal processing and machine learning algorithms for time variant health data analysis. Sathyanarayana explores these and other goals through Northeastern's SATH Lab, which she directs.
In addition to her role at Northeastern, Sathyanarayana also holds appointments in the Department of Biostatistics at Harvard University's T.H. Chan School of Public Health, as well as the Clinical Data Animation Center at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School.
Sathyanarayana received her PhD in computer science from the University of Minnesota, where her dissertation was selected for the university’s Doctoral Dissertation Award. Since then, her work has earned junior investigator awards from the National Center of Women and Information Technology, the American Medical Informatics Association, the American Epilepsy Society, and the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society. Her expertise has also led her to positions at Apple, Intel, the Mayo Clinic, and Boston Children’s Hospital.
