Welcome!

I am an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Epidemiology & Biostatistics. My primary interests are medical health informatics, machine learning, and clinical decision support.

Potential graduate students:

Interested MSc and PhD students both in Computer Science and in Biostatistics should apply through the appropriate Western University channels. Note that I am not able to respond to e-mail requests for supervision.

This site will be migrating to the

PHI Lab

But what is this data you refer to?
No textile chemist knows exactly what it is that the buyer tests when he feels a tuft of cotton.
Presumably there's the average length of the threads, their feel, the extent and nature of their slickness, the way they hang together, and so on.
Several dozen items, subconsciously weighed, out of years of experience.
But the quantitative nature of these tests is not known; maybe even the very nature of some of them is not known.
So we have nothing to feed the Machine.
