About me

Hello, and welcome to my website! My name is Julie Vaughn, and I am passionate about the use of data and technology for improving health and social justice. I recently worked on a startup in the women’s health space. Before that, I was a data scientist at Loyal for Dogs, where I helped develop statistical simulations for the first longevity clinical trial to recieve protocol concurrence from the FDA. I graduated with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT in 2020, with a minor in Biomedical Engineering. I also completed a Master’s degree focused on NLP for Healthcare in 2021 at the Szolovits lab at MIT CSAIL. During school, I did internships at five healthcare companies, was part of the new Living Machines certificate program, and enjoyed teaching both at MIT and abroad.

Generally, my interests are in (1) improving health outcomes for minority populations, (2) ethical and translatable AI for healthcare, and (3) personalized, preventative medicine and longevity. I enjoy informally advising early-stage founders and am happy to connect with likeminded folks. I also love exploring, writing, making things, dancing, singing, board games, and learning in my free time.
