Danish Tamboli
Hey there, I'm Danish (yes...like the pastry 🥐).
I work with clinicians, healthcare workers and patients to build AI agents that complement their expertise and help patients make better health decisions.
What are you up to right now?
Ask me
At the University of Florida, I work closely with clinicians and patients on conversational AI agents — helping clinicians practice skills like empathy and counseling, and helping patients better understand their condition, vaccination options, and treatment choices so they can make more informed health decisions. Along the way I've gotten to work on projects funded by NIH, NSF, and DARPA.

A little about me
I'm a PhD student in Human-Centered Computing at the University of Florida, advised by Prof. Benjamin Lok in the Virtual Experiences Research Group (VERG), where my work spans system design, user studies, and explainable AI tooling.
Earlier, as a Master's student at UF, I researched interaction techniques for extended reality in the Ruiz Lab under Prof. Jaime Ruiz. Before that, I completed a B.E. in Computer Engineering at the University of Pune, led electronics/data-acquisition development for a Formula SAE team, and interned as a software engineer at Dimensional Fund Advisors.
