The Enterpriser’s Project has published a new article from several CIOs discussing how to the recruit new talent. I was fortunate enough to be one of the CIOs selected for the article. You can read the article at this link.

Check out the short YouTube video on some of the cool things our research team is working on. It is another example of empowering greatness in others by accelerating their research from 21 days per cycle to 2 days.

Unleashing the full power of our faculty, researchers, and students to change the world starts with freeing them from the mundane tasks of academia. One of those tasks is managing email quotas. Why would I have a genomic engineer stop his research to manage his mailbox? See this pithy YouTube video on what we have done over the last two years.

A UAB researcher trying to cure Parkinson’s disease requires the high performance computer to conduct her research. The following chart captures the number of days required by different versions of the UAB high performance computer and highlight the tremendous progress made. Much more work is necessary to unleash fully the capabilities of the UAB faculty but we are making progress expeditiously.

2016 proved to be a very good year in terms of effectiveness in the classroom and online at Georgia State University. Of the 90 professors in the Computer Information Systems department, I was ranked #1 by the students in overall teaching effectiveness. Much more to do to improve my effectiveness in the classroom but I was honored to be recognized by the students.

UAB was successful in winning a Grand Challenge in medicine – the analysis of 118,000 MRI images in less than 48 hours for the detection of tumors. A very short YouTube video describes the challenge.

It appears the students at Georgia State in the Master’s of Information Systems Core have voted me the top professor for 2016. It is humbling to receive such an award from the students. I have always strove to be the professor that makes a difference. I remain deeply appreciative of Georgia State in providing me the opportunity to continue to give back to the community as a clinical professor.

As part of the Dell Super Computing conference in December 2016, Dell released a video highlighting research computing at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. You can watch the video at  YouTube.

I collaborate throughout the year with the Enterpriser’s Project. Their top ten posts for 2016 are a collection of good reads. Coming in 2nd for the year, an article I wrote on 18 month organization charts was apparently well received.

TechTarget posted an article on IT recruiting challenges quoting me. Provocative article.
