Engineering and Medicine in Extreme Environments

lt;b>Tobias Cibis has done research on engineering and medicine in extreme environments, with a focus on diving and hyperbaric medicine, at the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen and the University of Sydney, and has completed diving and hyperbaric medical education with the Australian and New Zealand Hyperbaric Medicine Group. He is a member of the IEEE Life Science Technical Committee, co-chairs their focus group on "Extreme Environments" and is Editor-In-Chief of the IEEE Life Science Newsletter.
Carolyn McGregor, AM, Ph.D., is the Canada Research Chair (Alumni) in Health Informatics at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. Dr. McGregor has led pioneering research in Big Data analytics, cognitive computing, real-time stream processing, temporal data mining, patient journey modelling and cloud computing. She now progresses this research within the context of critical care medicine, mental health, astronaut health, and military and civilian tactical training. She was awarded membership in the Order of Australia (AM) in 2014 for her significant service to science and innovation through health care information systems.
