Thank you for the warm welcome! Thank you also to Chris for his confidence in me and his encouragement. I am very excited to join the team.
I am a research engineer (official title "Sr. Applications Programmer") at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, as a part of an independent informatics/research group called the "Virtual Pediatric Intensive Care Unit." We are halfway through a 2-year collaboration with the JPL to deploy and adapt OODT for the management of data at CHLA and -- eventually -- for multi-institutional sharing, allowing researchers to access datasets that are orders of magnitude larger than anything they have been able to use before. I did my education at Stanford, and my background is actually focused on artificial intelligence and machine learning, so in addition to helping CHLA deploy OODT, I will also be a client who accesses the data for analysis. I hope that some of what I write on that side will eventually be integrated into the larger OODT framework as on-demand software services.
