David
EichmannI am Associate Director for Biomedical Informatics in the <Yet to
be Announced> and an Associate Professor of Information Science in
the School of Library and
Information Science, with a joint appointment in the
Department
of Computer Science. I am a member of the Health Informatics
Steering Committee and a member of the
Executive Council for the Center
for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. From July 2002
to June 2006 I also served as Director of SLIS.
I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from The University of Iowa in 1989, with a dissertation in database theory. I've been on the faculty at Seattle University, West Virginia University and most recently at the University of Houston - Clear Lake, where I chaired the Software Engineering program and was Director of Research and Development for the NASA-funded Repository Based Software Engineering project. MORE, one of the systems developed as part of RBSE, received a NASA Group Achievement Award in 1998 from Johnson Space Center and was nominated in 1998 by JSC for the NASA Software of the Year Award.
Since my return to Iowa in 1997 I've been working on information
retrieval and intelligent agents, particularly with respect to
information filtering, extraction of named entities and multimedia
clustering (text, images, video - and soon! audio).
