R. Craig Stillwell, Ph.D.

I am a quantitative biologist. In 2021–2022 I led allocation analytics at Booz Allen for the White House COVID-19 H-CORE test-kit mission. We used the CDC Social Vulnerability Index instead of a custom model so the rule was explainable to HHS and could be used the same month. I now review scientific evidence used to train biological AI.

Analytics lead, White House COVID-19 test-kit mission, Booz Allen Hamilton, 2021–2022. • 20+ peer-reviewed papers and about 2,500 citations, including a first-author review in Annual Review of Entomology. • Current contract reviewing scientific documents and datasets for biological AI.
