Work/Boulot

This pages contains my CV and most of my refereed publications in PDF format.

I am a visiting scientist at Sunnybrook and Women's Health Science Centre. I received a PhD from the University of Toronto in 1996. My work these days deals mostly with improving the diagnostic quality of coronary angiograms. I spend 1.5 days at Sunnybrook doing research and 3.5 days working for CardioView, a company that I have started with a Anatoly Langer, Cardiologist, that makes catheterization reports including angiographic movies available over the Web.
