My research is in the area of Bio-Medical Informatics. The main research in my group is to develop novel Computational Approaches (Data Integration, Statistical Analysis, Machine Learning and Data Mining) for Bioinformatics and Systems Biology research, involving:

· Problem-oriented Research: Poster 1, Poster 2, Poster 3,.

o Bioinformatics, focus on

o - Functional Genomics, and

o - Cancer Bioinformatics

o Computational Systems Biology, focus on

o - '-omics' data fusion and integrative data mining

o - system dynamics and behaviour modelling

o Biomedical Image Mining

· Method-oriented Research in Machine Learning and Data Mining

o Ensemble Learning and Meta-Learning

o Support Vector Machine

o Association Rule Mining

o Biological network Mining

o Spatial-Temporal Pattern Discovery

· Selected Publications

· projects (to be updated)

· Completed projects

· I am also coordinating the research in biomedical media research in the new research institute: Digital Media and Systems Research Institute (DMSRI).
