SHORT BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Prasanna Desikan is currently Senior Scientific Advisor at Center for Healthcare Innovation, Allina Hospitals and Clinics. Previously he worked in Boston Scientific on their advanced patient monitoring system. Prior to that, he worked as a Senior Researcher for Infobionics Inc, based in Eden Prairie, Minn., where he was actively involved in developing a new database management system based on novel data model called Cellular Data Model. His current research focus is on 'Data mining for healthcare management'. He is co-organizing a tutorial on Data Mining for Healthcare Management at SIAM International Conference on Data Mining Conference, 2011 and PAKDD 2011. He has successfully co-organized workshop on Data mining for healthcare management at PAKDD 2010 and is co-organizing the same workshop at PAKDD 2011. His earlier research work primarily focused on areas of Web mining and link analysis. Early on he has collaborated in tutorials for Web Mining and has published book chapters providing research overview in the area. He received his Ph.D and M.S in Computer Science from University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, USA.
