Research

You can find my CV here (pdf). My research focuses on developing scalable computational methods for analyzing complex biological data, with emphasis on graph algorithms, machine learning, biological networks, and integrative bioinformatics. Over the past two decades, I have developed computational frameworks for modeling and analyzing biological networks, comparative genomics, probabilistic biological systems, spatial transcriptomics and high-dimensional omics data. My laboratory has extensive experience designing scalable algorithms for graph alignment, network comparison, latent structure discovery, and integrative analysis of heterogeneous biological datasets.

Teaching

Service

I have served as the PC Co-Chair of the ACM-BCB Conference in 2012 and 2016, the CNB-MAC Workshop since 2015, tutorials chair for the ACM-BCB 2015, tutorials co-chair for the IEEE BIBM conferences. I have been also a PC member for numerous conferences including ISMB, RECOMB, CSB, VLDB, ICDE, ICDM, KDD and BCB. I often serve as a referee in various journals, including VLDBJ, TCBB, TKDE, TODS, DKE, Bioinformatics and BMC Bioinformatics. I am an associate editor of ACM/IEEE TCBB, a member of the editorial review board for our the journal "International Journal of Knowledge Discovery in Bioinformatics (IJKDB)" Also, I am the lead guest editor of the Journal of Advances in Bioinformatics, special issue on "Computational analysis of biological networks". Previously, I have served for (More).
