[edit] Education

Rory Lewis is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs UCCS Dept. Computer Science and an Adjunct Professor at the University of Colorado, Denver's Anschutz Medical Campus. He has a Bachelor of Science in Computer & Electrical Engineering from Syracuse University ('93), a Juris Doctor in Law from Syracuse University Law School (1996) and a Ph.D. in Computer Science, Information Technology. He defended his thesis Knowledge-Discovery in Databases at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte under the direction of Professor Zbigniew Ras D. Sc. (Habilitation). Lewis is published as an author under Apress with his book iPhone and iPad Apps for Absolute Beginners

[edit] Early years

Born and raised in Durban, South Africa, Lewis attended Penzance Primary and later King Edward VII School (Johannesburg) where he ran the 800 meters under coach Stewart Banner who also trained world champion and 800m record holder Marcello Fiasconaro, in Johannesburg. In 1978, Lewis was part of the South African Border War mandatory draft where he served in 44 Parachute Brigade (South Africa) under Colonel Archie Moore, and then at South African Special Forces Brigade under the late Major John Murphy. After an accident, Lewis moved to Los Angeles, and picked back up running track where ran for the Santa Monica Track Club team under coach Joe Douglas. After failing to make the 1986 Olympic Trials for the 800 meters, Lewis enrolled into Pierce Los Angeles Community College. He entered Montana State University in 1989 and later transferred to Syracuse University where he graduated in 1993 with a BS in Computer & Electrical Engineering, in 1997 with Jurist Doctor from Syracuse University College of Law and in 2007 a PhD in Computer Science with a focus on Information Technology.

[edit] Career

[edit] Neurological Predictive Analysis: minedICE

Dr. Lewis, along with brain surgeon Dr. Allen Waziri, epileptologist Dr. Andrew White and others at Columbia University and Anschutz Medical Campus is one of the inventors of a patent pending artificial intelligence intracortical electrode device called minedICE. The apparatus allows brain surgeons to dynamically monitor the inner core neurological status of their patients with severe injuries. Lewis has programmed the system to alert a brain surgeon when their patient is incurring or about to incur a severe neurological event. Simultaneously, it suggest to the brain surgeons what measure should be taken and then learns from the response whether it suggested the correct procedure or not. If it suggested the incorrect procedure, Lewis has programmed the circuitry to reprogram itself, and if it suggested the correct procedure, the system automatically reaffirms that particular algorithm. In Phase I, minedICE will first be tested in the military and then in Phase II a central server will be connected to many hospitals and their brain surgeons and patients.

[edit] Music

While at Syracuse, Lewis became popular on the New York City/Buffalo music circuit. After graduating from law school, he moved to Charlotte, North Carolina. Within a year Clearchannel pegged Lewis to open for Jerry Lee Lewis in 1998. Local radio stations and politicians invited Lewis to play at functions. Next, Billboard ranked Lewis two slots below Eminem in Rolling Stone Magazine February 17, 2000 and he topped the MySpace charts for downloads.[1]
