    Current Research Thrusts

    The focus of my research is at the intersection of computational biology, big data, HPC and machine-learning. I am interested in devleoping machine-learning models for neuroscience and proteomics problems. I am also interested in designing and developing high-performance computing (HPC) algorithms for scientific problems. With my extensive experience working in interdisciplinary research I use novel ways to dealing with big data and domain specific knowledge and AI models including machine-learning and deep-learning algorithms.
  • Machine-Learning Models for typical and a-typical brains using MRI/EEG data sets
  • Machine-Learning Models for Mass Spectrometry based omics data sets
  • High performance computing algorithms for big data from MS based omics
  • Hardware/Software co-design for large scale omics
  • Development of Network analysis methods for Scientific Data.
