Presenter

Thomas Brettin’s current work focuses on the development of projects at the intersection of genomics, artificial intelligence, and leadership scale computing as well as providing ongoing direction on existing bioinformatics at Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Chicago. Active open projects include the NIH funded Bacterial and Viral Bioinformatics Resource Center, the DOE-NIH funded Joint Design of Advanced Computing Solutions for cancer, and the DOE funded exascale computing deep learning application called CANDLE. Thomas also leads projects funded by the defense community. Thomas has been actively working towards bringing genomics based computational approaches to clinical research settings. More recently, initiating and executing projects that align with strategic goals of applying artificial intelligence more broadly to a range of scientific applications.
