Lectures & Talks
Recent talks for grand rounds, leadership, and conference audiences — AI-assisted development, clinical data, and the institutional shape of medical software.
From Image Management to Workflow Orchestration — WSI as a State Machine (35-min conference version)New35 min
Many labs can digitize slides; few can orchestrate. The image should serve the workflow,
not define it. This 35-minute talk treats the WSI as a stateful production artifact and presents
an event-driven, state-machine model that coordinates LIS events, the imaging lifecycle,
distribution, and AI into one operational workflow.
Build as You Speak — Modern AI and the Transformation of Research Infrastructure in MedicineNew45 min
AI-assisted development has changed what a small applied-informatics team
can build inside an academic medical center. The talk traces the gap
between operational EHR data and what clinical research actually needs,
the parallel infrastructure departments quietly build to bridge it, and
the institutional discipline that becomes both possible and necessary as
iteration cycles collapse from months to hours. Includes live
demonstrations of IBIS — natural-language search and cohort
discovery — and Xenonym, a schema-driven synthetic-data generator.
Closes with the case for applied informatics as the translational layer
that turns biomedical information science into clinical reality.
The Transformative Effects of AI-Assisted Software DevelopmentNewInteractive
Yale OneIT Conference — what changes, what doesn’t, and what it means for the act of building.
Featuring the Xenonym case study, DevSecOps patterns, and the Tufte meta-argument.
Pathology Informatics in the Age of AINewInteractive
How emerging technologies are transforming the tools we build — combining workflow foundations,
the functionality gap, AI-assisted development evidence (Xenonym, IBIS, WBC ΔΣ), and a practical pathway for pathologists.
Pathology Informatics for Residents
A practical curriculum on workflow, data, digital pathology, LIS/IMS, regulation, and AI in anatomic pathology.
1. Relevance of Pathology InformaticsNewInteractive
Logic, workflow, and the future of practice — featuring live polls, micro-case voting,
D3 visualizations, and a JSON-driven slide engine.
2. Custom Software Development in PathologyNewInteractive
Why we build, what we build, and how you can too — featuring the Buy vs. Build debate,
problem-first clinical cases, hands-on workshop, live polls, and D3.js cost/architecture visualizations.
3. Software Development for Clinical Use (Original)
The original lecture — DevSecOps, image analysis tools,
digital pathology infrastructure, and spotting workflow gaps.
4. Regulations, Technology, and the Future of Pathology
What every pathology resident should know about LIS and IMS — covering HIPAA,
regulatory frameworks, breach data visualization, and de-identification.
