Biography
Prof Kennedy has a PhD (Computing Science) and joined UTS in 1999. He is Director of the Biomedical Data Science Laboratory in the UTS Centre for Artificial Intelligence. This Centre is a strategic investment area within the university and has been externally evaluated as one of top two ranked research groups in the university. The mission of the Biomedical Data Science Laboratory is to use knowledge as the infrastructure to support decision making in biomedicine, most notably by assisting clinicians and biologists in cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Research Interest
Dr Kennedy's research interests are in data analytics of biomedical data, mainly collaborating with paediatric cancer researchers, since 2002, to better understand and predict treatment outcomes for childhood cancer sufferers. But he also explores other areas of data analytics and bioinformatics including developing bioinformatics pipelines to facilitate animal vaccine discovery and mapping collaboration among researchers. He also works on visualisation, text mining and social network analysis.
