Ryan Shaw

Associate Professor in the School of Nursing

I lead teams shaping the future of healthcare through digital transformation. Using a digital equity lens, we discover how to translate emerging technologies into novel patient care models. My work has attracted funding from institutions like the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF), among others.

In addition to research, I teach classes in health informatics and research methods, and mentor students and trainees to become the next generation of health scientists and clinicians.
