My research interests are in pattern recognition and computational intelligence, including the development of pattern recognition algorithms and tools for problems in the fields of biology and medicine.
My current projects are on automatic classification, annotation and quantification of multi-dimensional biological images, such as high-content or high-throughput microscopic images obtained by fluorescent protein labeling. My team is working on automatic analysis of multi-dimensional fruit fly Drosophila m. gene expression images, including annotation during embryogenesis, cell counting of larvae central nervous system, and inference of regulatory relationship, based on image analysis, regression and classification using machine learning and pattern recognition approaches.
I am an associate editor of Pattern Recognition Journal since 2006. I am a senior member of IEEE since 2009. I am also a reviewer of many journals and international conferences in the field. I have given invited talks at institutions and international conferences. I am a recipient of Burroughs Wellcome Fund (BWF) 2012 Collaborative Research Travel Award and a multiple time recipient of NIU summer research grant.
Here is a list of my selected publications, and the link to BIOCAT, a BIOimage Classification and Annotation Tool.
