LONG VERSION BIO:
Kevin Montgomery is the Technical Director of the National Biocomputation Center
at Stanford University. This Center is a collaboration between NASA and Stanford
University to develop advanced technologies for next-generation medicine,
including computer-based surgical planning, intraoperative assistance systems,
surgical simulators, anatomical atlases, as well as wireless telemedicine and
telemetry.
Before joining Stanford, he led teams at the NASA Ames Research Center to
develop systems for image processing, 3D reconstruction, visualization, and
simulation of biomedical imaging data for space-related research. Based on this
work, his team won the Contractor's Council Award, an FDA Group Recognition
Award, the Sterling Software Excellence Award three times, and was a runner-up
to the NASA Software of the Year Award. While working full-time at NASA, he also
completed his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Engineering from the University
of California. Also during his time at NASA, he developed and demonstrated the
first live transmission of vital signs and video from a commercial aircraft,
which earned he and his research partner the Smithsonian Award in 1998.
Prior to joining NASA, he was a project leader at the Hewlett-Packard Company
focusing on networking protocol design and implementation. His group developed
the first commercial implementation of the X.500 distributed directory and XDS
networking interfaces. While earning his B.S. in Computer Science from the
University of Delaware, he also worked for Hewlett-Packard developing a
Microbial Identification System and other work in computation applied in
analytical chemistry.
In addition to his work at Stanford, Dr Montgomery is also the Special Assistant
to the Director of the Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center
(TATRC), part of the US Army Medical Research and Materiel Command. He regularly
serves on review sections for NIH, NSF, DoD, and other granting agencies, serves
on the program committees of several technical conferences, and advises and
consults with several small, high-tech companies in the Silicon Valley. In
addition to his position at Stanford, he is also an adjunct associate professor
in the John A. Burns School of Medicine at the University of Hawaii and at the
University of Texas Health Sciences Center, Houston. He has over 20 years of
full-time technical experience in industry, government, and academia, 16 years
of management experience, and over 60 peer-reviewed journal and conference
publications.
