Assistant Professor of Maternal-Fetal Medicine · University of Chicago

Andrew Rausch is a Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialist and Assistant Professor in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology at the University of Chicago, where he also serves as Director of Ultrasound and Site Director of the MFM Fellowship. His clinical expertise encompasses fetal diagnosis, high-risk pregnancy, and advanced ultrasound; his research focuses on the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning to obstetric problems, including fetal weight estimation via neural networks.

Before medicine, he studied physics and astronomy at Carleton College — an undergraduate background that shapes his quantitative approach to clinical research. He remains interested in the intersection of technology and medicine, 3D imaging and printing, and is reliably opinionated about coffee.
