Jie Zhou, Ph.D.

My research interests are in pattern recognition and computational intelligence. My current projects include developing pattern recognition methods for problems in the fields of biology and medicine.

I am an associate editor of Pattern Recognition Journal (since 2006). I am also a reviewer of many journals and conferences in the field. I was awarded NIU summer research and artistry grant in 2003, 2005 and 2006. I have given invited talks at institutions and international conferences including Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, Concordia University (Montreal) and IEEE 2006 International Conference of the Engineering in Medicine and Biology.  I have published about 30 journal papers, conference papers and book chapters. My recent work, "recognition and annotation of gene expression patterns of fly embryos" (Bioinformatics, 23:589-596), provides a pipeline for automatic annotation of fruitfly embryo gene expression image patterns. 

Here is a list of my selected publications.
