PhD, Computer Science, Columbia University, 2006.


Our research focuses on developing machine learning algorithms to understand biological systems with emphasis on disease-related applications. We design kernel methods, graph-based learning algorithms and various other statistical models for an integrated analysis of SNPs, gene expressions, genomic sequences and structures, and clinical variables in our projects.
