Graciela Gonzalez
Assistant Professor
Department of Biomedical Informatics
Dr. Gonzalez joined the BMI Department after her successful one-year research fellowship with ASU, on leave from Sam Houston State University where she was Assistant Professor of Computer Science since the fall of 2001. She obtained her PhD in Computer Systems Engineering in December of 2000 from the University of Texas at El Paso and has published in numerous conferences and journals including IEEE’s International Conference on Data Engineering and in ACM’s Multimedia. Gonzalez has served as NSF panelist several times and has been in the Program Committee of the IEEE International Conference on Web Services for three years. During her graduate studies, Gonzalez worked as a software engineer and held other management positions for over seven years, leading the development of large-scale projects on database monitoring, imaging and multimedia production.
Gonzalez’s research focuses on aspects of knowledge extraction from biomedical literature, as an extension of her previous work on Multimedia Databases, Human-Computer Interaction, and Artificial Intelligence. Gonzalez is currently Coordinator of the BioAI Lab in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, headed by Dr. Chitta Baral, where she oversees several bioinformatics projects and leads the development of the Collaborative Bio Curation system (CBioC), recently featured in Science Magazine (Software: Annotate while you read).
