Introductions: Chintan Patel, Columbia University

I am Chintan Patel, nth year PhD student in the Biomedical Informatics 
Deparment at Columbia University. My interests lie in facilitating 
ontology development for domain experts and using ontologies to improve 
information retrieval.  I have worked on projects in applying Semantic 
Web Services for health-care workflows, Using ontological approaches for 
phenotype representation and developing Ontology-driven user interfaces. 
My current research involves using statistical learning approaches to 
glean knowledge from 'traditional' medical terminologies (in UMLS) to 
facilitate information retrieval and support development of formal 
ontologies.
