Short biography
My research applies artificial intelligence to prediction and pattern recognition in healthcare, with heterogeneous data consisting of numeric, categorical, image or waveform data. I have a B.A.Sc. in Systems Design Engineering and an M.Math in Computer Science from the University of Waterloo. I have given lectures at UW and at U of T's School of Continuing Studies; and I helped develop and teach a worldwide course at IBM.
I have 18 years of IT leadership experience in industry. Most recently I led IT strategy work for the University Health Network's Multi Organ Transplant group in collaboration with UW; and I was the Director of Privacy & Security at Canada Health Infoway with oversight on federally funded Electronic Health Record projects in each province. I have my own company, Bedrock Security Services Inc, whose clients included Canada Health Infoway, Telus, IBM and the Center for Internet Security; and I have also worked at Sobeys, Scotiabank, IBM and other organizations.
My non-academic publications include:
