The UWA Defence and Security Institute invites you to attend a private roundtable morning tea with Dr Jaques Reifman, from the United States Department of Defence (DoD) who is visiting Perth during AusBiotech 2022.
Dr Reifman is an internationally renowned academic in the field of artificial intelligence and bioengineering applications. Dr Reifman is the Director of the DoD Biotechnology High Performance Computing Software Applications Institute, which he created to leverage the use of computation, including predictive analytics, AI and machine learning, bioinformatics, and systems biology, in support of DoD’s basic and applied research efforts. He establishes multi-institutional, interdisciplinary research teams and leads them to develop solutions to optimise and enhance Warfighter performance, as well as to prevent, diagnose, and treat military-relevant injuries and diseases.
Prior to coming to the Army in 2001, Dr Reifman was a Section Manager at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory, where he conducted and led basic and applied research in computational methods, AI, advance control algorithms, and statistical pattern recognition.
Dr Reifman will discuss his areas of interest in remote health, AI and bioinformatics, and focus on opportunities for data driven solutions for health care, including:
- Possibilities opened up by machine learning
- Standardisation of health data for actionable data insights
- Cross-border (national/international) collaboration.
UWA DSI is honoured to be partnering with the Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation and the Department of Health on this important discussion.
