Hilary Placzek, PhD, MPH
I love helping people and organizations thrive by conducting rigorous person-centered clinical research. My research focuses on implementing clinically relevant qualitative and quantitative metrics to measure the impact of social and behavioral health interventions at scale as well as establishing use cases for how, when (and if) to leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to guide decision-making in clinical settings.
I am a research epidemiologist by training and have been involved in applied public health for over 15 years. My work as a first author and contributing researcher has been presented at national conferences and webinars, and published in journals such as PLoS Medicine, Journal of Managed Care Pharmacy, Vaccine, PLoS Currents: Influenza, and American Journal of Public Health. My methodological training includes Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts Department of Public Health, University of Massachusetts Medical School, Boston University School of Public Health. I have a PhD in Clinical and Population Health Research from the University of Massachusetts Medical School, an MPH in Global Health/Epidemiology from Boston University School of Public Health, and a BA in French and Chemistry from Colgate University in Hamilton, NY.
