Investigation into knowledge structuring, in particular the  how inter-concept,
non-hierarchic links are used, forms the basis of my research interests.  The
major focus of my work has been on the creation of a hierarchically structured
thesaurus for the fields of art and architecture modeled after the MeSH
thesaurus.  This work led to my dissertation on standardizing inter-concept
relations in vocabularies that are used for information retrieval and in
knowledge-based artificial intelligence systems.  <P>
	The second area of activity is the integration of electronic information
resources into the medical and dental school curricula.  This work is conducted
in collaboration with faculty in the various disciplines and is intended to
augment the classroom experience shifting some of the learning from the
classroom to the electronic environment.  The project is titled Columbia Health
Information PerspectiveS (CHIPS) and is currently focusing on the first year
curriculum.  For examples of this work, please see <a href='http://cuMedLearn.org' target=new>cuMedLearn.org</a>.  <P>
