My focus is in Bioinformatics & Statistical Modelling, especially of network data such as protein-protein interactions, co-expression, and functional similarity. A bio-molecular network can be viewed as a collection of nodes, representing the bio-molecules, connected by links, representing relations between the bio-molecules. I am working on inferring valuable information from bio-molecular networks.
