Research
I am going to be a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Biochemistry at Purdue University. Our main focus is to develop novel computational models for translation of patient data to precision diagnosis and treatment for complex diseases, such as cancer. We seek to advance this goal from three aspects: 1) Interpretable & Transferable Machine Learning Models 2) Systems Biology and Network Models 3) BioNLP & Text Mining. Please see figure below for how we can connect these dots.
