Career Overview:
|
|
Rajan Patel, Ph.D. is a Search Scientist at Google, Inc., At Google, Rajan has lead several successful projects resulting in the integral use of live traffic experiments in search quality evaluation. He is also the statistician on the team that developed Google Flu Trends. He is currently focusing on optimizing Google's core ranking function. Prior to joining Google, Rajan worked at Amgen, Inc. as a Senior Biostatistician and then Biostatistics manager. At Amgen, Rajan conducted statistical analyses for early phase clinical trials and pre-clinical trials. Rajan received his Ph.D. in from the Biostatistics department at Emory University, where he developed novel statistical methods to analyze functional connectivity of the brain using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data.
