Member Biography

In the long run, my research interest is two-fold: one focused on development of novel statistical and machine learning techniques; and one focused on addressing important translational and biological questions, through data mining and quantitative modeling. Currently, for methodological research, I am developing algorithms to mine local low rank patterns in a high dimensional noisy data matrix, namely, biclustering and subspace clustering; for science driven research, I am interested in understanding how much epigenetic regulation, and its interaction with microenvironmental factors, contributes to transcriptional regulation of gene expression in cancer.
