Research

Classification and Regression with High-dimensional Measurements

There is an increasing demanding for efficient and accurate classification and regression algorithms based on high-dimensional features (e.g. hyperspectral data generated by remote sensing technology, gene expression data). I am interested in developing Bayesian methodologies to model the high-dimensional variables, in order to find a better predictive distribution of the response given the high-dimensional variables.

Detecting Differential Variables from High-throughput Data

It is crucial to find differential variables from high-throughput data (e.g. gene expression data, mass spectrometry data) for further laboratory experiments. There is considerable correlations between these high-dimensional data. Considering the correlations in finding differential variables is crucial but challenging. I am interested in developing Bayesian methodologies to model the correlations.

Classification and Regression with High-order Interactions

A response variable (e.g. a certain disease) may be related to high-order interactions of a set of covariates (e.g. interactions between genes and environmental exposures). I am interested in using Bayesian methodologies to model this relationship and solving the arising computational problems.

Modelling DNA sequences

It is hypothesized that there is long-range dependency among DNA sequences. Modelling this dependency is crucial in many problems in bioinformatics, such as dicovering transcription-factor binding sites and motifs, and halplotype inference. I am interested in developing Bayesian methodologies to model this dependency.
