BCIG SPEAKER EVENT:
“Towards Automated Biomedical Analytics”
- view the seminar archive
NIH Clinical Research Center (CRC) (Building 10),
Hatfield Room 4-3330
ABSTRACT: fields within medicine and the biomedical community are
largely information driven. Once desperate health care systems now need to be
globally integrated to share and exchange information for proper patient
diagnosis and prognosis. Informational sources such as entire mapped genome
systems of many organisms and humans, advanced imaging techniques, health
screening technologies and individualized medical plans, iMedicine, require
advanced analytical engines. Biomedical analytics provides a high throughput
system for pattern and feature analysis that delivers personalized or
information based medicine. Within the talk, I will discuss medical findings
from the McKnight Brain Institute and the NIH/NINDS within the envelope of
biometrics where a few algorithms will be introduced within a service oriented
architecture. Further, emerging technologies such as virtual worlds and the idea
of a HiGrid are examples of biomedical analytic enabled environments.

Aaron Baughman is a computer scientist in IBM’s Public Sector Application
Innovation Services practice area. He has worked as a biometric developer and
software engineer for almost 5 years supporting national security and justice
clients. He initiated and co-chaired the first IBM Academy of Technology
conference on biometric analytics at IBM Research. Aaron founded IBM’s virtual
biometric community in an effort to expand interest in biometrics and
intelligent computing at IBM. He spoke on identity management at the 2007 IBM
Technical Leadership Exchange and participated in the 2006 Biometric Symposium
poster session. Recently, he had a late breaking paper accepted at ACM GECCO
2008. Aaron has submitted several patent disclosures in the field of computer
science and will have 7 utility patents filed with IBM at the end of 2008. Aaron
holds a M.S. in Computer Science from Johns Hopkins University and a B.S. in
Computer Science from Georgia Institute of Technology. He earned a Georgia Tech
President’s Undergraduate Research Award in 2002. In addition, he finished
observations at the National Institutes of Health / National Institute of
Neurological Disorder and Stroke / Human Physiological Section and the
University of Florida’s McKnight Brain Institute, completed two Organizational
Creativity Certificates from the Walt Disney Institute and finished a course in
the fundamentals of biometric identification science. He held two IBM
internships and was the IBM campus ambassador with Georgia Tech. Previous to
IBM, he worked for the United States Government within science and technology.
