My current research views medical error as an emergent property of the complexity of emergency care. Once understood, the systemic behavioral states will function like physiological identifiers for biological organisms and as such can provide queues that permit identification of potential failures before death of the system occurs.
SEMANTIC WEB
Given a network of thousands of wired and wireless heterogeneous sensors, how can the sensors be discovered and dynamically utilized for applications that might not have been anticipated on initial deployment?
BIOMEDICAL DATA VISUALIZATION
The focus of this research was the development of an interactive defibrillation simulation known as DefibViz which utilizes data visualization techniques to allow for exploration of voltage gradients throughout the human torso.
DATA VISUALIZATION OUTREACH
The focus of this research was the interdisciplinary development of data visualization tools for pedagocial use and high-school outreach.
About me
Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.--Mark Twain
