Kathie Hodge is Associate Professor of Mycology in the Department of Plant Pathology & Plant-Microbe Biology at Cornell University. Her research on the systematics and ecology of fungi, especially insect pathogens and spoilage molds, using molecular and morphological approaches to discover their relationships, devise classification systems, and understand factors that have driven their evolution.

Education and career
Hodge received a Bachelor's degree in 1990 from the University of Toronto and a doctoral degree degree from Cornell University. Upon starting her studies she was the only woman in a class of over 200. She completed her PhD while simultaneously working as a researcher at Philips Research Laboratories.

At Philips, van der Schaar helped develop the first algorithm for video streaming and, as their representative to the International Organization for Standardization from 1999 to 2003, led working groups which determined early standards for streaming.

Since 2005, van der Schaar has been on the faculty at the University of California, Los Angeles. In 2011, she founded UCLA's Center for Engineering Economics, Learning, and Networks, and she directed the group until its dissolution in 2016.

From 2016 to 2018, van der Schaar was the Man Professor of Quantitative Finance at the Oxford-Man Institute of Quantitative Finance.

van der Schaar joined the faculty at the University of Cambridge in 2018. In November 2020, van der Schaar was named the director of the new Cambridge Centre for AI in Medicine, a research collaboration between the University of Cambridge, GlaxoSmithKline and AstraZeneca to study applications of machine learning to the medical profession.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic in April 2020, van der Schaar's research group was part of a collaboration with the UK National Health Service which used machine learning to predict shortages of ICU beds and ventilators in English hospitals.

As of 2020, van der Schaar has published over 250 academic journal articles and submitted over 275 conference papers, and her work has resulted in 35 US patents and contributed to over 45 international standards.

Honours and awards
van der Schaar was elected as a Fellow of the IEEE in 2009, and she has held a fellowship with the Alan Turing Institute since 2016.

She has also received a National Science Foundation CAREER Award (2004), the IEEE Darlington Award (2011), and the Oon Prize on Preventative Medicine from the University of Cambridge (2018).

In 2019, a Nesta report determined that van der Schaar was the most-cited female AI researcher in the UK.
