Research

I am particularly interested in developing statistical methods for the analysis of biological data, with an emphasis on computational biology and high-throughput technologies. Recent projects involve Deep-Learning methods for the analysis of sequencing data (Nanopore technologies), and Markov Processes for the analysis of clinical data. My main research interests involve:

  • Convolutional Neural Network for Nanopore Sequencing
  • Machine learning techniques for genomics, in particular random forests
  • Computation and algorithms for ultra-large genomic data
  • Partially-Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDP), Piece-wise Deterministic Markov Processes (PDMP), applications to medical data
  • Change-point detection problems and model selection for discrete variables with special emphasis on sequencing data

Conferences

  • The 2023 edition of the SMPGD will be held in Ghent on 2-3 February 2023! Check out the web-page for an exciting program, and to submit an abstract for a talk or a poster!
