APPLICATION OF COGNITIVE THEORY TO IR

This research views the UML-S as a content addressable memory. The research applies theories of human cognition to information retrieval. Currently, the implications of applying ACT-R and the rational analysis of human memory to information retrieval are being explored.

EMERGENCY CARE IS A COMPLEX ADAPTIVE SYSTEM

This research views emergecy care as a complex adaptive system. The multi-agent simulation is being used to develop dashboard displays for the emergency department and to study resouce allocation strategies.

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.

INFORMATION RETRIEVAL

The goal of this project is to investigate the implications of memory theory on information retrieval. This project views the Unified Medical Language System (UML-S) as a content addressable memory.

MULTI-AGENT SIMULATION

The goal of this project is to develop a multi-agent simulation of the emergency department. The simulation is used to study resource allocation strategies and for in-silco testing of information resource interventions.

SEMANTIC WEB

Semantic Web

My previous and primary research as a graduate student at The University of Memphis was developing computational knowledge models for sensors and developing a framework leveraging the computational knowledge model to support dynamic discovery and synchronization of senor services to support high-level user constraints..

DATA VISUALIZATION

Biomedical Visualization

The biomedical visualization research involved the development of a finite element analysis defibrillation simulation utilizing interactive geometric and volume rendering visualization techniques.

High-school outreach utilizing data visualization

The data visualization high-school outreach initiative was composed a series of interdisciplinary workshops where a viable application for use in the high-school physics classroom was developed utilizing high-school teachers as the requirements source. Click here for project website.
