Overview

About

Bridging radiology, clinical AI, and global health informatics through collaborative research.

Satvik Tripathi is a researcher at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, working across Radiology and Radiation Oncology with a focus on clinically relevant AI for radiology, oncology, and patient-centered care.

He is an Innovation Fellow at the Penn Center for Cancer Care Innovation (PC3I) within the Abramson Cancer Center, advancing cancer care delivery through health system innovation and AI to improve quality, equity, and patient-centered outcomes.

In parallel, he is a research assistant at the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging and in the Division of Vascular & Interventional Radiology at Mass General Hospital / Harvard Medical School, contributing to imaging AI methods and clinical applications in vascular radiology.

He also serves as an AI Scientist with RAD-AID International and is on the RSNA Radiology: Artificial Intelligence Trainee Editorial Board, with additional editorial leadership in the Radiology AI Podcast.

He holds leadership roles within SIIM, including Jr. Vice Chair (Membership Committee), and serves on SIIM’s Global Outreach and Machine Learning Education committees.
