Fundamental Principles of Efficient Healthcare Operations Management.
The fundamental principles of management are as objective as the laws of physics. However, the laws of management are frequently violated by healthcare organizations. This post summarizes some fundamental management principles and references the book that covers examples of their applications.
Choosing our trade-offs: how Daksha can learn to pinpoint objects
The obvious solution is not always the right one. Daksha needed a way to pinpoint where gamma-ray bursts come from, but the standard approach would have come at the cost of mission sensitivity. The eventual answer came not from redesigning a detector, but from rethinking the spacecraft as a whole.
What Lies Beneath? Understanding Ground Conditions Through Integrated Geophysics
Accurate subsurface characterization is essential for geotechnical design and infrastructure development. This study integrates ERT, Seismic Refraction, and MASW to improve the assessment of foundation materials and reduce uncertainty associated with subsurface heterogeneity.
The Generational Long View of AI: From Silent Cognitive Erosion to Cognitive Sustainability
What happens when AI becomes exceptionally successful? This question inspired my exploration of Silent Cognitive Erosion and Cognitive Sustainability—two concepts aimed at understanding the long-term human and societal implications of increasingly AI-mediated environments.
