Hi, I’m Riya Patel, a Computing Science undergraduate student at the University of Alberta and the current President of AIMSS. Over the past year, I’ve had the privilege of serving as VP Education for AIMSS, organizing events in other clubs as well, and contributing to research in AI in oral healthcare. These experiences have shown me both the exciting potential of medical AI and the gaps in accessibility and involvement, especially for undergraduates. As President, I plan to focus on making AIMSS’s initiatives more inclusive, collaborative, and impactful. This includes launching beginner-friendly course materials and workshops, building stronger student - researcher connections, and creating more spaces where students from all backgrounds can explore, contribute to, and shape the future of AI in medicine. I’m excited to continue growing our community and helping AIMSS become a leading force for innovation, education, and opportunity in this space!

I'm an incoming second-year medical student in the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry. I am fascinated by the growing integration of AI into clinical practice and am particularly interested in how emerging AI tools can enhance healthcare education, improve the patient experience, and drive better health outcomes. As Treasurer, my focus will be on maintaining the fiscal sustainability of AIMSS while actively pursuing new funding opportunities to support student-led initiatives in AI and medicine.
In my new role, I'll promote practical research projects to improve healthcare outcomes. I'll also establish connections between upcoming research endeavors, leveraging knowledge management principles to form networks of knowledge for our executive and fundamental purposes. By emphasizing execution, we'll maintain our vibrant reputation in AI.

My name is Devaanshu, and I am going into a masters of nursing this upcoming semester. I have been involved with AIMSS University of Alberta for the past four years and am taking a larger role with the AIMSS national this year. However, I am very passionate about supporting university students and paving the way towards ethical health AI implementation. My plan for this upcoming school year is to support our student team with various events and meetings, as well as engage our university community in education and innovation with health AI technologies.

Hello there! My name is Jiayin He, and I’m a first-year Master’s student in Computing Science at the University of Alberta. My research currently focuses on the application of artificial intelligence in healthcare, with particular interest in its impact on clinical practice and mental health. As the incoming VP Operations, I’m excited to help organize inclusive, engaging events that foster interdisciplinary learning and highlight the transformative role of AI in medicine. I look forward to contributing to AIMSS’s mission by building a vibrant, connected community that brings together students and professionals from diverse backgrounds!

With 8 years of clinical experience as an internationally trained dentist, I am currently in my 3rd year of a PhD in Dentistry. My research focuses on the intersection of oral and general health through AI-driven healthcare innovations, with a particular emphasis on improving children's overall well-being.

In my upcoming role as VP Research and Education, I aim to:
- Foster interdisciplinary research that bridges AI and healthcare.
- Support and mentor students in developing research with real-world impact.
- Build knowledge networks to enhance collaboration and execution across projects.

I am looking forward to contributing meaningfully to AIMSS and helping shape the next chapter of research and education within the organization.
