This talk will discuss the role, effect, and quality of informatics in publicly funded research, from selection of proposals for funding to execution and sustainment. The case will be made that many current funding mechanisms are mismatched to the scope, needs, and impact of informatics research by comparing and contrasting informatics projects with traditional experimental R&D proposals. Causes for poor quality informatics projects will be enumerated and suggestions given to address themIn this talk, Dr. Smith will describe the work he and his lab are doing to progress the state of Informatics for Computational Mass Spectrometry to further proteomic research. |
BIO:
Rob Smith is a scientist and entrepreneur dedicated to saving mass spectrometrists from bad software. He believes computational mass spectrometry is ripe for a revolution that will be catalyzed by advances in interfaces, algorithms, and data management. His recent academic research has focused on assessing the state of the art of computational mass spectrometry by interviewing users and conducting quantitative evaluations made possible through custom-developed technology. In addition to his position as an Associate Professor of Computer Science at the University of Montana, Dr. Smith recently founded Prime Labs, Inc., whose mission is to develop software for mass spectrometry that people actually like.
