Professional Statement

I am a native Texan and Texas Longhorn. I graduated from UT Austin in 1993 with BS and BA degrees in Chemistry and Biochemistry. I obtained my MD from Baylor College of Medicine in 1997, and remained at Baylor for residency in Pediatrics and fellowship in Pediatric Critical Care. During fellowship, I began my training in Informatics at The University of Texas School of Health Information Sciences (now the School of Biomedical Informatics), earning a Master’s degree in 2006, and a PhD in 2010.

My chief research interest is in prediction modeling based on time series analyses. My main focus is in predicting cardiac arrest in pediatric intensive care patients. I am also interested in clinical decision support, and being able to automatically detect potentially important events and to provide clinicians with information that may not be readily available as part of routine medical care.

I am a programmer, and have designed and operate a decision support tool at Texas Children's Hospital that culls information from the EMR (electronic medical record), automates clinically relevant calculations, and delivers this information over multiple channels to a variety of users ranging from bedside caregivers to researchers.
