Research Interests:
- Bioinformatics and computational biology
- Machine learning
- Statistical signal processing
- Visualization
My research aims to provide computational methods to explore high-dimensional data, and derive hypotheses and solutions that may lead to discovery of new biology insights. My current interests lie in the area of bioinformatics and computational biology, with a focus on machine learning, statistical signal processing and visualization. A few ongoing projects are:
- Understanding cellular heterogeneity from multi-dimensional single-cell data generated by cytometric technologies, such as flow cytometry, mass cytometry, etc.
- Discovering biological progression underlying a collection of unordered samples, with applications in disease progression and drug response.
- Integrative analysis of data generated by multiple platforms, such as gene expression, methylation, copy number variation, etc.
- Modeling biological systems with differential equations.
