William Bosl

Dr. Bosl was a scientific software developer at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and completed his (first) PhD in computational geophysics at Stanford. In 2005 he moved to the Computational Health Informatics Program in Boston. It was a joint program between Boston Children’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and MIT. There he began research in neuroscience and biomedical informatics.

In 2013 he joined USF as the founding director of a new master’s program in Health Informatics, where he continues as a faculty member. He continues to hold an affiliate faculty position with Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, where he collaborates with medical researchers in informatics, neurology, psychiatry, and developmental medicine.
