About
Me:
I recently completed Masters degrees in Computer
Science and Technology
& Policy at MIT where I was advised by Peter
Szolovits from the MIT's Clinical Decision Making Group and
Isaac
Kohane, Ken Mandl and Staal
Vinterbo from Harvard Medical School.
Research
Focus:
My
research could be summed up as an exploration into multi-institution
electronic medical records, privacy technologies, and medical computer
science applications. I
also
did considerable coursework in Finance,
Management,
and Technology Strategy.
Past
Work :
My
past research includes work in Search Engines, Machine Learning,
Privacy Technologies, and Voice over IP. In
2001 I founded Veristage,
a machine learning company. In
2000, I was the enterprise product manager of Zero-Knowledge,
a privacy technologies company. In
1998 I built for WebSENSE,
the URL Filtering Industy's first focused web crawler. This helped
WebSENSE build a list considerable larger than their competitors.
In 1999, I wrote one of the first papers that used Machine Learning to filter junk mail.
