Short Biography

  • My research interest lies in the pipeline that initiates from machine learning models to computational biology algorithms and terminates at applications in biological problems. Specifically, my research interests focus on the data analysis and interpretation with respect to DNA, RNA, and protein. In the past years, I have devoted myself to studying models and algorithms for learning from big and imbalanced data, which are then applied for predicting protein structure and function. My current research interests are also focused on machine-learning-based next generation sequencing and structure-based protein function analysis.
