Worked with numerous groups curating, creating, and applying knowledge representation artifacts to semantic interoperability challenges, supporting efforts to identify vaccine and drug treatment options for COVID-19, updating the widely-used Infectious Disease Ontology, developing the Virus Disease Ontology extension, and developing the Coronavirus Infectious Disease Ontology which extends from it.
Education
- PhD in Philosophy from Northwestern University.
Background
- Research interests include ontology, knowledge graph engineering, formal logic, and machine learning, with applications to representations of infectious disease, top-level ontology modeling, and healthcare ethics. Previously worked as a senior ontologist at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory.
