Before going to OHSU in 2010, he spent over 9 years at Columbia University, where he was Anne S.

He is currently Knowles Professor of Ophthalmology & Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology at OHSU, is a Vice-Chair (Research) in the ophthalmology department, and leads the Oregon State Elks Center for Ophthalmic Informatics. His research has been continuously funded by the National Institutes of Health, and by several charitable foundations, since 2003. He is principal investigator of the NIH- and NSF-funded Imaging & Informatics in ROP (i-ROP), which is a collaborative project among multiple institutions. His group has published over 130 peer-reviewed journal papers. He directs an NIH-funded T32 training program in translational visual science for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows at OHSU, teaches in both the ophthalmology and biomedical informatics departments, and has directly mentored over 40 graduate students, medical students, and postdoctoral fellows--many of whom have won research awards and eventually moved to top academic programs throughout the country. He is always looking to collaborate with students, fellows, and clinicians who are nice, enthusiastic and hard-working.
