Recently, an article in Folio came out discussing the current McCalla professors, including myself. Here's a snippet:
"...A successful researcher of machine learning, Greiner uses computer algorithms to find patterns in datasets. He intends to continue applying these techniques to medical and biological datasets, seeking patterns that can later be used to improve diagnosis and treatment of diseases. One set of tasks involves examining genomic, proteomic and metabolomic information of patients, to identify which have a certain disease (like cancer), and which will respond well to a particular treatment. Another project uses learning algorithms first to find the tumour volumes within MRI images of a brain, before predicting how that tumour will grow. Other projects involve predicting properties of novel proteins, helping users find useful information in the Internet, and personalizing customer interfaces for eCommerce. ..."
