Faculty Member gets go for Publication

Adelaide based faculty member Anna Shillabeer has just been recognised for her research on Data Mining in the field of Medical and Biological research by receiving confirmation that her book chapter has just been accepted for publication in Austria.

Data mining is the principle of sorting through large amounts of data and finding relevant information. It is usually used by business intelligence organizations, and financial analysts, but it is increasingly used in the sciences to extract information from the enormous data sets generated by modern experimental and observational methods.

Anna Shillabeer completed her PhD at Flinders University in 2008.  She has worked as a Web Developer and a Fraud and Behavioural Analyst for the WorkCover Corporation in South Australia.  She has also taught both undergraduate and postgraduate Information Technology courses for 8 years in the areas of Software Engineering, Project Management, and Database Management.  She is a member of the Health Informatics Society of Australia.

Anna says, “For me it’s all about real life application by providing diagnostic and prognostic support to both doctors and patients and ultimately giving them information about an individual case when and how they need it, and in real time”.
