Biographical Data
Male.
Education
Ph.D. in Computer Sciences, University of Wisconsin-Madison,
August 2001 (expected).
Research interests
My research interests are Data Mining, Machine Learning, Operations Research and Mathematical Programming. I develop the new algorithms for large data mining problems such as classification problem, clustering and regression (linear and nonlinear). Using the methodologies such as support vector machines, chunking and smoothing techniques allow us to get a very robust solution (prediction) for a large dataset. I also apply these methods to solve many real world problems. An important aspect of my research is the use of data mining techniques in the breast cancer prognosis.
Teaching interests
I am interested in teaching courses such as Data Mining, Operations Research (deterministic and probabilistic models) and Optimization (linear, nonlinear, integer and dynamic programming). These courses can be ranged over a broad spectrum that encompass undergraduate level as well as graduate school level. I can also teach many mathematical and statistical courses such as Calculus, Linear Algebra, Numerical Analysis, Probability, Stochastic Process and Statistical Inference.
