Dr. Mark Walker, Dr. Steven Hawken, Dr. Kevin Dick and Olivier Miguel
DR. MARK C. WALKER is currently a High-Risk Obstetrician at The Ottawa Hospital and a Senior Scientist at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, where he co-founded the Obstetrics, Maternal and Newborn Investigations (OMNI) Research Group. He is also a Full Professor and Vice-Dean of Internationalization and Global Health at the University of Ottawa, and Scientific Director of Ontario’s Better Outcomes Registry and Network (BORN). His research interests are broad in perinatal epidemiology including clinical trials, cohort studies, health services research and applications of artificial intelligence.
DR. STEVEN HAWKEN is a Senior Scientist at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, Associate Professor at the University of Ottawa and Senior Adjunct Scientist at ICES. His research centers around the application of advanced statistical/AI and ML methods in the areas of newborn screening metabolomics, maternal-newborn and pediatric epidemiology and personalized health for end-of-life decision support.
DR. KEVIN DICK is an Artificial Intelligence Data Scientist at the Better Outcomes Registry and Network (BORN Ontario). He received the PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Carleton University in 2022. His research expertise is primarily in application areas requiring Machine Learning, computational methods, and high-performance computing infrastructure to provide insight into complex problems. He also has expertise in bioinformatics, the analysis of autonomous vehicle-sensed data, scientometrics, and the promotion of access to information.
OLIVIER X. MIGUEL is an Artificial Intelligence Data Scientist in the private sector. He received the MASc in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Ottawa in 2018. His research interests include Deep Learning, reinforcement-learning, 2D/3D computer vision, medical 3D printing and design. Olivier continues to play an important role in OMNI’s AI Research Program through his work as an Data Scientist/Engineer at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute.
