_R6T8961 (2)Biography: Dr. Guttmann works as an Associate Professor (Adjunct) at UNSW in Australia, a research fellow at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, and a Senior Analyst at IVBAR in Sweden. He worked before at the IBM Australian Research Lab, where he lead projects around health care ICT. One focus of Guttmann’s work is to build analytical and intelligent systems that enable health entities to deliver care with better health outcomes with an ability to control the costs incurred by reaching these outcomes. His work addresses challenges faced by tomorrow’s world of health care: How to create and apply technologies that cope with the large burden of chronic and mental diseases.

Prior to his role at IBM Research, Dr. Guttmann led the research themes on health care and disaster at the Etisalat British Telecom Innovation Centre (EBTIC). The theme partnered with governmental health authorities and ministries. He has been a research fellow at the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences at Monash University, where he researched how intelligent systems can improve collaborative health care. He also worked in industry projects with BT, HP and Ericsson.

Dr. Guttmann holds a PhD degree from Monash University, two Master degrees from Paderborn University in Germany and the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden, and a psychology degree from Stockholm University in Sweden. He organised major conferences and workshops, edited four books on intelligent agent technologies, and co-authored over 40 articles in leading conferences and journals.

Research

My research interests are in Data Science, Analytics, Social and Mobile Computing, Multi-Agent Systems, Agent-Based Modelling, Complex systems and Artificial Intelligence.

I am interested in applying and evaluating this research to health care systems, epidemiology and social networks.
