Namita Kansal

DIHI Scholar

Namita is a third-year medical student at Duke and a 2020-21 DIHI scholar. Her primary project at DIHI this year will be the Development of a Maternal Early Warning System Using Machine Learning. Namita has been proud to be “Forever Duke” since 2013 when she first arrived to Durham as an undergraduate. Following graduation in 2017, she completed her MPH at George Washington University with a concentration in Maternal and Child Health. She hopes to pursue a career in Ob/Gyn and is excited to work at the intersection of ML and medicine through DIHI. In her free time, Namita loves binging mind-numbing Netflix shows, singing karaoke, and raving about NoVA. Her perfect Sunday morning always begins with a ‘Strawberry Splash’ smoothie from Durham’s finest, Foster’s Market!
