Current Teaching

During the Spring 2009 semester I am teaching 198:536 Machine Learning, and a Byrne Seminar on Health, Wealth and Intelligence (Human and Artificial). During Fall 2009 will be on Sabbatical Leave, and during the Spring 2010 semester expect to be teaching  198:405 Computers in Society and an AI graduate seminar.

Research Interests

My major areas of research are artificial intelligence, biomedical informatics, and the societal impact of computers, especially in health and historical analysis. 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 representing underlying knowledge in medical records and 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.  In imaging, on clustering in large scale image sets. On societal impact, I am investigating the effects of computer technology on medical practice, biomedical research, bioethics, and the history of technology.
