The 4th Visual Analytics in Healthcare (VAHC) Workshop was held this weekend in Washington, DC. This year’s event, which I co-chaired with Dr. Jesus Caban (NICoE, Walter Reed Medical Center), was held in conjunction with AMIA’s 2013 Annual Symposium. Over 100 attendees turned out for the workshop which included technical papers, posters, interactive demonstrations, and two keynotes: (1) Prof. Ben Shneiderman of the University of Maryland, and (2) Dr. Howard Wainer, a statistician and Distinguished Research Scientist at the National Board of Medical Examiners.

I’m extremely excited to be joining SILS as of January 1, 2014 as an Associate Professor of Information Science. After over 8 years at IBM’s T.J. Watson Research Center in New York, I’m returning to Chapel Hill (where I earned my PhD in Computer Science in 2005) to join SILS, the #2 ranked iSchool in the country according to the latest US News and World Report rankings.
