Current Teaching

During Fall 2009 I am on Sabbatical, and during the Spring 2010 semester expect to be teaching  the graduate course 198: 536 Machine Learning, the undergraduate 198:405 Computers in Society  and First Year Byrne (Honors) Seminar 090:101 Computer Gaming.

 

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.
