PERSONAL STATEMENT
My research is focused on understanding the implicit information from various biological omic data and leveraging machine learning algorithms for gene selection. Currently, my research interest includes Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Data Mining, Computational Biology and Medical Image Analysis.
I consider bioinformatics to be an interface between Statistics, Computer Science, and Biology. The combination of these many different fields is what makes the field so exciting. A good bioinformaticist is the glue that can hold a Multidisciplinary team together. Although people have learned a lot from these approaches and will undoubtedly continue to do so, making the most significant contributions requires a different thought process than those associated with classical biology, statistics, mathematics, or computer science. My aspiration is to work at the interface of these different fields or Multidisciplinary Environment, or at least be able to converse effectively with others that hail from these backgrounds.
