Current Teaching

During the Fall 2006 I am teaching 198:530 Principles of A.I., and during the Spring 2007 semester I will be teaching  198:405 Computers in Society. In Fall 2007 I expect to teach 198:535 Pattern Recognition and likely 198:206 or 198:323 (to be decided in late spring or summer).  

Research Interests

My major areas of research are artificial intelligence, biomedical informatics, and the societal impact of computers, especially from biomedical technologies. In AI, my concentration is on expert problem solving and knowledge representation, pattern recognition, clustering, visual reasoning and image interpretation. In medical informatics I am working on models for clinical guidelines, on methods of medical decision support, biomedical imaging and predictive data mining. In bioinformatics I am working on pattern recognition and clustering methods for genomics and proteomics. On societal impact, I am investigating the effects of computer technology on medical practice, biomedical research, bioethics, and the history of technology.
