Rushay is an MSc student in Health Services Research and the Collaborative Specialization in Global Health at the University of Toronto's Dalla Lana School of Public Health (DLSPH) and Institute of Health Policy, Management & Evaluation (IHPME). With research interests centred on health services delivery in fragile and conflict-affected states, Rushay has broadly conducted research on technological applications in global health and international development, including in Greece on refugee health, in Mongolia on rural electrification, and in Geneva, Switzerland on the interstate peacemaking system. He has been a Fellow at the University of Toronto's School of Cities, the Center for the Study of the Presidency & the Congress in Washington, D.C., and is currently a Research Fellow with the COVID-19 Government Response Tracker at the University of Oxford.

T-CAIREM's collaborative research networks on the use of AI to support patient-centred medicine corresponds with growing work in 'global e-health' and the use of advanced technologies in low-resource and fragile settings. I bring a wide variety of global research experiences and a focus on socio-political and international legal systems to improve the application of AI tools and patient data in promoting positive population health outcomes.
