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
