I received my MS in Computer Science from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in 2002 and my PhD in Computer Science from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2007. I am currently a computational biologist at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. I live in Salem, Massachusetts, together with my wife, my daughter, and our four parrots.
My research interests lie at the intersection of databases, data mining, and bioinformatics. In particular, I want to find new database and data mining techniques that can make large-scale mining of diverse biomedical image datasets possible. See my list of publications and research statement (PDF) for details.
My name is spelled "Vebjørn Ljoså" in Norwegian. I mention this so
that people entering that name into search engines will find this
page. Oh, and my name is pronounced
[ˈʋêː
bjǿɳ
ˈljûːs
óː].
Speakers of English can often come close with "vay-b-yearn lyo-soa".
