Hi, I am an assistant professor at the Machine Learning Department and at the Computer Science department (CSD) at Carnegie Mellon University.
My primary research areas are computational Biology, Bioinformatics and Machine learning. I am heading the Systems Biology Group at the School of Computer Science at CMU. Our group develops computational methods for understanding the interactions, dynamics and conservation of complex biological systems. Our work addresses issues ranging from the experimental design level to the systems biology level. In the past I have also worked on problems related to Distributed Computing and Computer Graphics.
I like to spend some of my spare time running. In the past I have enjoyed the Cambridge Running Club. I am also enjoying the many trails that Pittsburgh offers for long distance running.
