Dr. Parker’s research focuses on deceased donor organ allocation for transplantation. His current work includes determining the impact of allocation rules and geographic competition on patient outcomes and the treatment practices of transplant centers. Dr. Parker’s overall goal is to apply advanced data science methods such as deep learning and simulation modeling to organ allocation, designing systems that efficiently and fairly allocate these scarce health care resources to the patients most in need.
