INVESTIGATORS

David Maslove, MD, MS, FRCPC (Director) is a clinician scientist in the Department of Medicine at Queen's University, and an internist and intensivist at Kingston Heath Sciences Center. His research focuses on exploring the nature of biomedical big data and its uses in critical care research. Dr. Maslove is the Associate Editor for Data Science for Critical Care Medicine.

J. Gordon Boyd, MD, PhD, FRCPC is a clinician scientist in the Department of Medicine at Queen's University, and a neurologist and intensivist at Kingston Heath Sciences Center. Dr. Boyd's research focuses on the long term neurologic consequences of critical illness and injury using multimodal data including proteomics, cerebral oxymetry, and robust assessments of cognitive and motor function

Phil Laird, MD, PhD, FRCPC is a Critical Care Fellow at Queen's University and Kingston Heath Sciences Center. An engineer by training, Dr. Laird has a PhD in physics, and extensive experience using computational tools to analyze large datasets. Dr. Laird oversees a number of student research projects, including those related to the analysis of pressure waveforms, and development of bedside clinical tools. He also contributes to developing the computation infrastructure used in waveform collection and analysis.

Stephanie Sibley, MD, MSc, FRCPC is an Emergency and Critical Care Physician at Queen’s University and Kingston Heath Sciences Center. With advanced training in clinical epidemiology, Dr. Sibley is an active investigator for both observational and interventional studies in the ICU. She directs a research program examining the sequelae and prevention of new onset atrial fibrillation in the ICU.

RESEARCHERS

Alex Hamilton, RN, MSc is a critical care nurse and data scientist with specialization in neural network. Alex uses large quantities of ECG data to develop and refine deep learning models to identify atrial fibrillation in the ICU.
