Those readers attending this week’s ITAB2006 (Information Technology Application in Biomedicine) conference in Ioannina, Greece, may run into Spiros Denaxas, one of the software developers here at Nestoria.
By day, Spiros spends his time here at Nestoria working on things like local content (all those pretty pins you see on the map), natural language processing (more on this the next time we update you on some recent improvements to Nestoria Rank), and our internal metrics and analysis systems. But by night, while the rest of us sleep or hoist a pint after a hard day’s work, Spiros toils diligently on his PhD in bioinformatics. In short: he’s an intellectual monster.
Spiros’ hard work has paid off, and he’s recently had some of his research accepted for publication. He’ll be presenting his paper on “Quantifying the Biological Similarity between Gene Products Using GO: An Application of the Vector Space Model” at the conference. Read the details of Spiros’ research and the abstract of this paper specifically over on Spiros’ blog.
If you’re in Ioannina, please say hello.
