My research areas are data mining, text mining, health informatics, sensor analytics and data bases. As outlined in the research project section of this site, I have been focusing on genomics data and text data over the past ten years. On the genomics side, with the PROOF Centre team, my work focuses on the development of biomarker panels for various conditions related to organ failures in hearts, lungs or kidneys. On the text side, my work with the Natural Language Processing Lab focuses on conversations, such as emails, blogs and meetings. The objective is to create meta data, such as natural language summaries, to facitate access to the otherwise unstructured raw data.
