My work mainly focuses on the implementation of health informatics applications and services using well known standards such as HL7 and IHE, the semantic integration and composition of services in state of the art computational environments such as the Grid and the Semantic Web, and the design and implementation of post-genomic data architectures and statistical analysis tools. In the past I have worked in the design and implementation of a service oriented architecture for the realization of the Integrated Electronic Patient Health Record by the means of CORBA and Web Services middleware technologies. Nowadays, my technical interests mostly centre on the use of modern web technologies (HTML5 umbrella of technologies and REST "inspired" integration approaches) and the use of machine learning and statistics for the analysis of "big data" (what is now frequently termed as "data science")
