Machine Learning, Data Mining, Numerical Linear Algebra, Numerical Optimization, Network Analysis, Bioinformatics
My main research interests are in machine learning, large-scale data analysis and bioinformatics. My emphasis is on developing novel algorithms that respect the underlying problem structure and are scalable to massive data sets. Some of my current research topics: high-dimensional data analysis, divide-and-conquer methods for big data analytics, social network analysis, and predicting gene-disease associations.
